And the US has been willing to pay for its transgressions.

Giving Indian tribes relatively small amounts of cash, or allowing them to run casinos isn't much in the way of payment for what happened to the Indians. And the Bureau of Indian Affairs, probably hurts the Indians (not their tribal structures which it supports, but the actual individual Indians) more than it helps.

The US hasn't paid Indian groups that where in armed insurrection. It visited destruction on them.


So? We are not talking those nations. Those nations typically don't get $6 billion per year in aid from the US.


The US itself probably would not be more restrained.
