    If my house was built on land that was taken after murdering the people there, then I would deserve to have my house burned down, feelings are irrelevant.

      So non-native Canadians and the Americans should give up all their land back to the indigenous and move back to Europe?

        Well yes, in practice that’s not feasible, but we should be giving land back to native groups. In reality humans have migrated throughout history, I don’t disagree with the concept of settling necessarily but groups that were subject to genocide and forced expulsion deserve reparations.
