This article completely ignored issues of genocide and residential schools. It also avoids issues of colonization through churches and the abuses brought about by these churches. There is also a sense of desperation as if "Indians" were disappearing, in fact they are not and the struggle is still being fought. The sale of the land seems innocent but in fact it was part of a project of manipulation and theft by both the U.S. government and British Empire. The return of lands not legally sold and the right to working ecosystems is at the center of issues for Indigenous people on Turtle Island (what Europeans and Euro-Americans call North America). Further, "agriculture" as promoted by the Europeans was never an effective system of food production as land was continually being "over-farmed" and the land became non-functional for many Euro-American farmers as "market forces" were driving the poorer farmers to adopt methods that were not conducive to the regeneration of the land. This system of intensive farming is being criticized world wide as perfectly good farmland that had grown crops not recognized by Europeans as "edible" or "desired" on the global market was being turned into land used to grow mono-culture crops that are actually less productive and disrupt the ecosystem of the farm making it non-usable within one or two decades.
