So, are you saying then, that you are able to put a price tag on the harm and that money would heal and remedy the relationship? I'm curious as to how you will convince or persuade your population to let go of their bias and discrimination against them as well as dealing with the fear they feel about the accumulation of wealth often held in land that may have been acquired as a result of genocide and theft. How would you reconcile those issues within your government?

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.
