As an aside:

What I find interesting is that people ignore the genetic evidence showing that the so called "native people" are actually the third or fourth wave of "colonizers" that "displaced" an earlier people, who did the same when they showed up in the Americas.

No one is "native" to the Americas. They each came from somewhere else.

There is a great question as to where humans came from, Africa, the flooded lands of the continental shelf, etc..., but no "people" were created on this Land.

There was a series on PBS, years ago, that discussed all this, but I can't remember the title now. It upset quite a number of "native people" at the time. HA!

BTW, In the novels I write, all people came to this copy Earth from other copy Earths.

All Origin Stories have people walk to this world from somewhere else. That is almost universal. There are only a few stories of people being "born" from seedpods of a tree.

- I find that useful for stories of terraforming.

But I digress.

Well written, well said... talk about "blowing smoke," as we say in New York... these empty gestures are stunningly ridiculous. I had no idea this was a thing. The solutions you recommended would be an excellent start. "Money where your mouth is..." There is no substance to these ideas or apparently to these people. Too many marketing degrees and not enough carpenters. Thank you!
