While they're at it, the feds should give all the land they currently control back to the states.
Every national park, national forest, wildlife refuge, BLM lands, and especially all of those lands which have oil and gas under them.
They can have D.C.

The first and only land that I would agree to giving back to its original owners would be the land that the U.N sits on in New York City. I would then kick these sorry individuals asses out of our COUNTRY!

I guess having the reservations closed and telling them to go out and get jobs like the rest of us is out of the question. Unless they wish to live like their ancestors did (much like the Amish).

I like to see all that Federal land sold to pay off the national debt. And then in an ideal world let's get out of the UN and throw the bums out of New York. They just aren't worth all the hassles they create.

We used to do medical and engineering project nation building MTTs to the reservations in the early 70s under MG Emerson's SPARTAN programs; they needed the aid. Our Group CDR had property and relatives in Arizona so we wound up providing NHS MEDCAP support and BIA directed engineering projects mostly to the Navajo, Hopi, and Havasupai tribes there in Arizona, although some teams did go work with tribes in Montana, Utah, and the Dakotas.
As far as the UN-American.org thinking in that article goes - astounding  - but certainly not unexpected.
And for the 'pink font' crowd here...a poster I'm surprised the UN didn't include in their report. 
And so it goes...

Of course, the indian side of my family is pretty happy with the crappy land they were given on the reservation that no one wanted. Can you say "Black Gold". They're filthy rich..
