Also, following treaties signed under duress and in situations of radically unequally power dynamics isn’t too reasonable either.

I'm not sure the alternative to following treaties signed under duress is to not even follow said treaties. We can give them all sorts of land that we barely use, nobody is actually suggesting we give them back downtown Vancouver. The issue is we just shrug and go 'yeah well people live in places now'.

Many people are absolutely suggesting we give back Vancouver. Giving back only shit that settlers don't really care about or use defeats the whole point doesn't it?
