So basically this guy is suing America because his 'people' are too stupid to know the price of their own land and sold it.

What alternate universe does this clown live in? Thats not how the system works. If a seller sells something and both party's agree on the price, the sell is final.

I guess this is where the phrase "Indian Giver" comes into play. wow. I never really understood that until now.

Also, the way this so called 'lawyer' answers questions is what we call 'beating around the bush' or 'lawyer jingoism' in America. Basically he's full of crap and just trying to get some money. ALOT of money.

And if he doesn't get it.. he'll pull the Jesse Jackson card.
