I didn't give impracticality as an excuse. I just don't agree with ethnic cleansing. Everyone has a right to live where they were born. Furthermore, it just doesn't track with the indigenous people I actually know in real life. I can't imagine any of them wanting to expel most of their friends.

do something more meaningful

I help with language revitalization on occasion, there are places coders like myself can help there. I'll admit it's not exactly a full-time job, but it has its value. But in general I don't want to bother people who live on reserves. Regardless, I reject the notion that you need to actually be helping in order to have an opinion.

imo if people are talking about kicking you out of the place you were born, you are warranted an opinion.
