I have just lodged an a post about the slave trade as I had not seen this thread.
However it points up the total absurdity of any idea of compensation.
It would be impossible to calculate any amount of compensation fairly.
For instance how much would you pay the descendant Italian for being
taken as a slave by a Barbary Pirate and sold on a Nth African slave market ?
Or the descendant of a blonde girl from Iceland !

Every living human being has ancestors who suffered injustice. Should we remedy all injustice, or just the injustice to some? What's important to me is that people are treated equally in society and not given special consideration or privileges on the basis of their heritage.

The land was invaded but not the inhabitants. No other indigenous anywhere on this Planet have been compensated as much as the Aborigines. I have yet to meet an indigenous who actually wants to revert to the style of existence their forebears lived.
