A United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return some of the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination. James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, said no member of the US Congress would meet him as he investigated the part played by the government in the considerable difficulties faced by Indian tribes.
I especially like the part about no official US rep meeting with the UN - after all the criticism Israel suffered for not doing so with that Goldstone investigation.
P.S.
The location of the lands? It includes the site of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
