Considering how much outrage has been amassed over the displacement of the Palestinians, I think the time is right for the Un-Settle Turtle Island movement to take hold.

This Un-Settlement will return to its original owners the land that was stolen and swindled away from First Nations peoples by the Europeans. That this crime began hundreds of years does not make it any less of a crime, nor does it make the nation that now occupies that land any less guilty of (at the very least) receiving stolen property.

My proposal is this: If I own any land, I will make a provision of my will that upon my death, its ownership will revert to the Nation that originally lived there. They can use it or sell it at current market value if they see fit--either way, they will get their property back.

If enough occupiers of North America do this, eventually the First Nations will regain much of their original land! I am sure they will let the rest of us keep living here.

PS. If you won't join this movement, why won't you?
