We took the whole Cherokee nation

put them on this reservation.
Took away their ways of life.
The tomahawk and the bow and knife.
Took away their native tongue.
And taught our English to their young.

And all the beads they made by hand
are nowadays made in Japan.

Cherokee people! Cherokee tribe!
So proud to live, so proud to die!

...

But maybe someday when we've learned...
the Cherokee nation will return.

The nation of Steveishandsome announces that it will begin a policy of restoring vast portions of land to the aboriginal population. They will have limited sovereignty and the ability to write and live within their own laws. Displaced settlers will be given compensation for their land.
