Reparations

If reparations are made to Native Peoples, they should not be given individually. Reparations should be distributed, but they need to be released properly. I believe they should be released to the tribes, the councils that govern them. I'm not sure if that was the correct terminology. Reparations should not be made individually to families. I am sure the reparations would be needed, but it isn't right to give money to a family or person apologizing for what was done to their great great grandparents, or however far back. The tragedies committed against the Native People is larger than the individual level. Ill will is still being done to the Native Peoples and the impact of past actions continue, which is why any type of reparations made should go to the councils of the different tribes to ensure that the monies/commodities would be fairly and properly dispersed to the Native People as a whole.
