If they pay for it, it will be with raised taxes, and it will come out of our pockets.

Where are you coming up with the "400 years" thing? Treaties with recongnized soverign native nations were signed, and shortly thereafter, broken less than 100 years ago. There are people who are alive today when some of these treaties were put into effect.
As to taking responsibility and paying for these frauds/thefts ..... a debt doesn't go away just because it's old (unless all the people who are owed those monies get killed off).
