All that said, if you want my pie-in-the sky idea as to what to do if I somehow became the American , I think you should give them Oregon, and as many guns, tanks, planes & ☢️ as they think they need to keep private re-settlers & the US state from fucking with them. Plus like a $500-Billy development package, and let them to as they will with all that
that's more or less what Ulysses Grant tried to do the problem was that once gold was found on their land the government couldn't stop the settlers and when the natives killed the settlers it put public support for war to such a level that the government was essentially strong armed into it.
basically that might not actually be within the capabilities of the US government to do even if they were willing to do it
Ehh Indigenous people are almost always under counted in population stats, not to mention there's racist shit like blood quantum rules that exist to specifically limit the size of Indigenous populations. And besides that it's not like all FNs are asking for complete autonomy with a "settlers go home" demand. That's why returning the land needs to be paired with decolonization, if there's one thing I can generalize about Indigenous people is that they want to co-operate with the people here, but our systems create oppression that prevents it.
