      You are saying that modern indigenous people are not of the same people as their ancestors.

      So why should they be given ancestral land and autonomy? According to you, the modern Sioux aren’t of the same people as the ones who were there before Europeans got there, they’re just Americans.

      So why do they get special reserved land and autonomy? Why do they deserve it based on your rationale that they are not the same people?
