Did your family have an agreement with the British to pay for those sheep? If not, then there is no comparison.

In the Americas....ok, so that's both continents then? South America was much more populated than north, keep that in mind. So America has 300 million plus today, Canada has almost 40 million and South America including mexico ( and Mexico city with the largest city in the world) has probably anywhere from 500 million to 700 million............yes...........very close.
If I dropped an elk off at the Community Center would anyone know how to butcher it; skin it, flesh and tan the hide?
So because the British wouldn't negotiate with me I get nothing? So it's ok to be racist against a Gaelic person because he has no treaties? Holy **** reverse racism in its extreme right there!
The samething some 60 year old Native lost. NOTHING! You can't lose what is aleady gone.
In the case of my neighbour, he is actually working his traplines ... and I'll gladly admit to being the recipient of much Bullwinkle 'n Bambi. Without the paperwork - which was more likely to have been an honourable word and handshake deal - he will be forced to cease hunting and trapping.
Another idiot that has a problem understanding the law. The First Nations in Canada have both written and verbal agreements. It's not my fault or their fault that the brits screwed your ancestors. The British Crown did not "conquer" the First Nations. They made agreements for the land. Those agreements have been recognized by not only the SCOC but also internationally as well.
You sort of sidestepped the point. If you were the actual loser, in a perfect world, you would be compensated.
And when they have the capacity to manage those lands, they can be the caretakers again. Until then, that just isn't going to happen and ****ing Whitie will continue to be the caretakers.
Which of course are the reasons for the Idol No More movement.
I just got caught in the glare of the headlights.

It's funny though on who ALL explorers relied on for information.
Lewis and Clark, Champlain, the voyageurs. ALL of them juan.
A people came over the frozen Bering Strait and developed over 25 thousand years, and you juan think they did not know of each other.
Do you ever get tired juan ,of just posting this made up as you think history,(lol) of the Native Peoples.
Your a hoot juan.
Now it would be impossible for the Natives to know the value Europeans put on everything from fish,fur pelts, to gold to vast amounts of land, but the Native people did know how the land and it's gifts were worthy of thanks.
