U.S. has given enough to American Indians

How long must we pay for our forefathers' heinous crimes toward the American Indians? What about the atrocities meted out to the Jews, the detainment of the Japanese during our war with Japan, the Africans torn from their African families to serve as slaves, the women and children who are physically and emotionally abused each day?

We have given the Indians housing, free money and other amenities for far too long. In many cases, they have abused these efforts of “repatriation” and I for one, am fed up.

Let's stop this insanity and take the money so freely given and channel it toward other needs of this world, like recapturing jobs for all U.S. citizens, housing help for the homeless, take in all who want and need drug treatment. I could go on and on.
