My Great great (x4?) grandfather eas a native who fought with the Revolution forces to help win freedom...each one was "given" acres of land as a reward.
Two generations later, they took it back and kicked my great (x2?) grandfather down the Trail of Tears (indian givers 😒 )... If he hadn't survived, I wouldn't be here.

So yeah, I want my ancestral land back!
