We're still doing it today, Cyno. The US, today, is not holding up to our responsibilities. We are not honoring our treaties with the remaining Native populations. We are ignoring them. We are responsible, today, for many of the incredible problems modern Native Americans face. Since you've made it clear you'll have no responsibility for anything before your birth, do you take responsibility for this?
