You are right. Life loss and the harm done are priceless even though the government and the insurance company can put a price tag on it. I can never convince my people to let go of their lands they consider to be privately owned properties. If the indigenous people were to receive government lands, they could share among their own people and those who share the same belief.

The real reconciliation is at the individual level. It only happens when each of us can treat them as equal, respect their culture, and make real friends with them.
