Landless, money-less, heritage-less

It has been my experience personally, and what I have witnessed
& read that when a group of people want to be accommodated
and repaid, that they never stop. With every restitution they
seek, they state that they will be happy, yet with every restitution
given them, they become more hungry and seek to gain more and
more. This is true with all peoples. And the Natives of SE
Alaska it is no different. Once they get land for payment, what
will stop them from seeking more of 'their' land. After all,
they did live here first.
Makes me think I should have
Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Germany and Morocco give
me a few acres land in each country as restitution for previous
economic circumstances forcing my family to leave and come to
the American Continent. We'll see how far that goes.
