If you believe in karma you'd never suggest that today's white european descendants are responsible for the misery of today's natives.. you are a simpleton.. its not stolen lands.. its conquered lands.. and as far as that goes the question of whether natives are the 'first' is just that a big fat question... the 'carbon footprint' comment is laughable.. truly... http://plantsneedco2.org .. natives want separate special treatment, I say they should get none... then there would be real 'reconciliation' .. hundreds of years of whites are born natives and fish and hunt and log .... 'hunter gatherers' is not just a native way of life and you are now trying to say it is ?? I don't know why natives feel so special and unique.. I know that liberals feed that narrative and I have no idea why... as for not liking the Western way of life they like their trucks and fishing boats and they sure like their cheap tobacco and cheap booze... so they just want to pick and choose.. maybe their plumbing is western too .. but we call it civilization, its an improvement over shitting in the woods.
