And certainly, we've done very, very little to make amends.

Again I must quibble. They did very little to make amends. We had, and have, nothing to do with it.

We disagree on whether it makes sense to seek redress today. Today's American Indians are living in poverty, mostly as a result of a past wrong, from which we are "benefiting." We should do something about that.

Just off the top of my head... we could start by giving them several sizable states, no? So others would have to move out (or perhaps abide by some other arrangement). Seems fair to me. Not sure it would be enough, but it might be a start.
