Most American Indians didn't become citizens until 1924.  It was the late 1940s before they all became citizens.  But Indians have been on American coins.

Sac was the only one I could think of at the moment, but yea, there are Native American coins with buffalo on the back too, a few others I cant think of now.

I don't see how that matters. It's their land.

The congress will NEVER EVER eliminate paper currency in favor of electronic.

If there was an electronic trace of every transaction, there would always be a chance of risk of discovery that does not exist when one is simply given a briefcase full of cash.

And don't say Bitcoin, it's corrupt or corruptible, and/or hacked or hackable. Just give 'em that cold hard cash and get outta here.

The average American is dumber than a rock.

You don't see the South American countries giving the land back to the Indians there, do you?

Was their land, and yes it sucked that it got stolen from them back then, but I am no fan of "sins of the father".

FYI, our species started out in Africa so even their ancestors didn't start out there. Humans migrate and will always migrate and mix. I certainly think it is extremely important to teach their history of suffering so humans don't repeat it again. But even the Mexicans and South Americans are a result of a Portuguese/Spanish invasion who took over their inhabitants and changed them, but not many liberals consider 11 million Latinos/Hispanics sub human because they migrate here to the U.S.

You cant change the past, but you should remember it so you don't repeat it.

Here is a map of our species earliest migrations to the Americas.
