the sacred lands for the Lakota and should be returned. The Supreme Court decision said the territory was wrongfully taken but in a typical Wasi'chu way they showed no understanding of anything sacred and simply claimed that the sacred lands could be equated to money and then the Wasi'chu tried to buy off their guilt.

How would the descendants of the colonizer squatters react if the Lakota and others went to the West Bank and purchased Bethlehem and then bulldozed it flat but offered some money to soothe the upset?

The Wasi'chu use their courts to demand things for themselves that they deny to others. They break the promises, like the 1852 Santa Fe Treaty with the Apaches, because they see only dollar signs for themselves and proclaim and demand protections for their religions and sacred places while denying it to others whenever they can gain dollars.
