I'm not arguing that they were indeed Polynesian...just showing that you can extract data that indicates but shows nothing conclusively.

It's not an unprecedented idea.

I think most people think of indigenous as the first people there. Otherwise, the only place humans would be indigenous would be Africa. So basically it is whoever called "First!"

The land the UN sits on should be returned to the City of New York.

Mt. Rushmore land should be returned to Native American tribes, UN official says

I'd like to see the UN return the property it occupies on 42nd St in NYC, which can then be converted into condos for the homeless, and Al Sharpton.

Then the UN can just get the hell out of Dodge.

Fortunately or unfortunately we are where we are and there should be no effort to restore land to anybody due to events that happened more than 20 or 30 years ago.

If that is the case do you support Israel? How do you feel about the British giving them their ancestral land back?

No Africa belongs to the people who never left. Europeans already tried to return and look how that ended up (slavery, colonization, genocide, etc.)

Mt. Rushmore land should be returned to Native American tribes, UN official says | The Upshot - Yahoo! News

Why does the OP assume this is "right"? Because the UN says it is?

IIRC, Mount Rushmore, as a National Monument and part of the National Parks is still accessible by Native Americans, just like it is to everyone else. Just around the winding road is the Crazy Horse monument (a work in progress).
Nearby Bear Butte is also still accessable to Native Americans for their religious ceremonies.

American citizens should look at the larger picture and ask themselves why the United Nations thinks it has a say in what goes on in our National Parks and why the UN has claimed some of out land (US taxpayer funded) for the entire world (World Heritage sites). (Started in 1970 with Nixon signing a "memo", not a treaty, it became another Bill Clinton-George Soros legacy in 1995 (Yellowstone NP). For further proof read Bill Clinton's executive orders grabbing land and prohibiting mining).
