If the Sioux didn't lose - why did they sign?
When did I say they didn’t lose the war? I said they didn’t lose the land IN a war - the Black Hills were ceded to them to end the war. When gold was discovered on the land, the US appropriated the land under false pretenses and in violation of both the treaty and the US Constitution. Your own Supreme Court agreed with this assessment in 1980.
How can you not get this? The land belongs - legally, ethically and historically - to the Sioux nation, not to the US.
And in case your wondering why I’ve got such a bug up me arse about this, something similar happened to Ireland in the 12th century. But that’s a topic for another time.

The neighbors cows got into my grandfather's cornfield and ruined his crop in 1943.
By your logic - the neighbors that live there now owe me for those spoiled crops..
