Reply #51: Not sure if all of them are restore-able

[FreakinDJ]

Such as the case argued on behalf of the Yakima Nations to the Supreme Court which granted ½ of all fish caught in Puget Sound to the tribe.

Obviously the fish have already been eaten.

Her argument to the court was the tribe would be willing to “forgive” the debt provided the federal government would restore the salmon runs to the land now inhabited by the Yakima Nations. No small feat to say the least, but I lost track of her and do not know the outcome of the case.

I’m sure many more would be similarly difficult to restore as well. Whole towns, counties and states built upon what rightfully is Indian land. Not sure us settlers even know to the extent the tribes have been screwed over as well
