Regardless of whether or not there is legal precedent for them to get their territory back, that still doesn't prevent them from leaving if they wish to.

On your other point, there is no need for the USA and Canada to cease to exist, nor for tribals to go to war with these countries to receive land. If the monetary drain is so unbearable, these countries could give one-time reparations (including territory) to recognized Indian groups. Just because there isn't a resolution prompting the return of land doesn't at all mean that people wouldn't be willing to give Indians land. That doesn't mean that they necessarily should.

If it is their wish to go to Mexico. Africa, or wherever and start new Indian communities there, they're free to do so. But as long as the government is willing to protect and fund these people, they're not going anywhere. Even if they are nuisances, there are far greater ones that whites are facing.

Technically, there is another group of Palestinians who did leave (by force). The refugees from the original 1948 war.

To this day, they still demand a right of return, especially as Israel continues to seize their property (i.e settlers who keep entering the West Bank, destroying Palestinians farms etc).

There's a lot more nuance involved why the Palestinians aren't just leaving.

Where have you been? We give these groups money all the time on the basis that they EXIST. There is absolutely no obligation for this to continue, since the money goes straight to corrupt Chieftains who funny enough, refuse to spend it on their own people. It's the same Africa-tier politics that ends up going nowhere.

But as long as the government is willing to protect and fund these people, they're not going anywhere.

But here's the thing, we don't have to. Just like how illegal immigrants cross the border and by chance, they stay instead of being turned back. That's actually a failure on our part, because we're helping other people through the goodness of our hearts, but the other side is only interested in being a burden to society. And ignoring the issue only makes it easier for our enemies to exploit us.

The only solution is for a Nationalist government to give them an ultimatum. Either accept they'll never get all their land back and just be normal citizens, or revoke their citizenship/Indian status and treat them like any trespasser.

We're writing in circles so I'll just say this.

You're right about there being no obligation to support Indians, and you are right in that the people do not have to protect and fund them. But the majority do believe they are obliged to. Like you said, it is done because people feel bad about the poor Indians. When people have a good reason to stop feeling bad about them, a government with the appropriate power and support could force Indians to make their journey to Mexico, Africa, or wherever.

Yes, I'm aware that most people go along with it. But the same "majority" also goes along with demographic replacement and other harmful beliefs, so it's still important to call them out.
