    Great. You’ve done the first world nation justice. Now do your own indigenous nations justice and return all of their stolen artifacts.

      Anything won by military action is legitimately owned. Note all of human history

        I doubt that will ever happen, but artifacts in museums can absolutely be given back to indigenous nations without much effort on the museum’s part. They just don’t want to.
