Probably would be wise for you to brush up on the issues. The tribes that got really screwed were never at war but were our allies. Lot of corrupt people in govt at the time.
I mean it more in the sense that we realize that our government is corrupt now but back then it was just as corrupt and many of these corrupt families got their start back then stealing everything that wasnt nailed down and screwing over settlers and natives alike with their crimes. There was a big push to get access to natural resources by any means necessary and that's when a lot of these reservations magically shrunk. I think the govt should only be held accountable to the extent they are liable vs some sort of reparations owed.
Nope. All is fair in love and war.
They lost.
