Gave the Native Americans land? They rounded them up and stuck them on a reservation. Took their kids and forced them into schools where they had to give up their culture and/or die. The US Government signed treaties and went back on every one of them.
I don’t have all the answers to Native American and African American reparations. If the US wanted to do more than pay lip service, they need to have discussions with all parties and come to an agreement with $$$$$ attached to it.
In the Native Americans case, every acre of land in the US belonged to the different tribes. It was swindled or stolen from them and turned into a commodity that could be bought and sold and enrich the government and immigrants. The Native Americans were not included in that part of equation.
