As I said yesterday in our conversation, we are in agreement there but I'm not quite sure it solves the problem. A "good start" isn't a solution to the problem and even the "good start" requires enforcing some form of racial governance model otherwise its just another county of the United States.
The situation is at the very least complex and will likely require a "morally impure" solution.

It wouldn't solve the problem, but it would solve a problem. And the USG refusing to act in good faith is a pretty big problem. Any mutually beneficial solutions would be at best infeasible or at worse impossible without at least that.
Yes, it would be messy and complex. International relations already are, why would intranational relations be different?

Historical injustice is not something that people living today are responsible for. Therefore the "problem" of historical injustice is best solved by people today forgiving the people from the past and moving on with their lives.
But... the US taking its treaty obligations with native peoples as seriously as it does with other nations would be a good start.
