cmdownes Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) I'm interested in this community's thoughts on the demands of some Amerindian groups to have vast tracts of stolen land returned to them. Do you think that claims of this sort are ever justifiable? I would assume that at least in some cases they are. If a clear title can be established and it is clear that force or fraud were used to steal land from its rightful owners, it seems that the state has an obligation to restore it - even if the theft occurred a hundred years ago, and even if different people are the nominal owners now. I can't see how it's ethically different from any other form of larcency. Edited April 8, 2009 by cmdownes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
