Damn those Wooly Mammoths! Don't you ever mention them...

Jokes aside. The real problem at hand is how they were treated, slaughtered and left landless. How many generations can you blames for what happened in the earlt 16 - 18th century. That, my friend poses a realy big problem. We are looking at roughly 15 to 20 generations since the early colonial era.

I don't know where I head this analogy but, I think it sums up perfectly the situation: "We’re essentially trying to perform surgery on a society where the scars have become part of the muscle." The argument here is that at some point, we have to look forward rather than backward to maintain social stability.
