I think your test is wrong, if you want to be consistent: land should be returned to the original owners not based on how many years have passed, but whether the effects of the unlawful seizure are still being felt. Therefore, your land should be returned to the Native Americans. Of course, if your house is to be returned to the Iroquois, I hope you don't expect to be paid anything for it; it is an unlawful settlement, after all.

And, why do you assume they want you here after you evict your home? They didn't invite you or your forbears here in the first place. I think their request that you "return" to Europe or wherever you might be accepted would, if I correctly follow your reasoning, be viewed by you as quite within their rights. Can you argue with that? Why not make the first move & deed your home to the Arapaho National Trust? Others may follow your noble example.

When was the allotment act passed that resulted in loss of much of the Indians remaining land? I think it was 1887. 114 years ago. Is there that big a difference between 52 years and 114 years?
