I know, the Anasazi are all dead and gone. Well, so are all the Paiute and others who had the land before the palefaces took it from them. None of the present ones, were even born at that time.

So why do ANY of them have any claim?
They have much more of a claim than the government of a state populated largely by newcomers from other states and countries.

And does the fact that none of the current (white) residents of Arizona were alive in 1848 mean we can give the whole state back to Mexico and they won't mind? Really?
