It's a very serious stain on our national heritage, not unlike slavery.

Really? Why don't you give back your piece of land in Idaho and
California?
That would remove any "stain" you might have. As for me, think I'll
stay
"stained".

Regardless of what one does about it now, you mean you don't think there
IS a stain?

I personally believe some surcharge, say 0.01% (only a dime per $1,000),
should be added to all real estate transactions for, say, the next two
hundred years or so--paid *directly* to the nearest federally recognized
American Indian nation/tribe/reservation.....

....alternatively, one mil from all property taxes paid in the country....

Well, there IS another alternative. If current trends in Indian "gaming"
continue for a few more decades they can just buy it all back.
