or before you die?
if not, why not? is it because you know someone who needs it more and/or is expecting to receive property when you die? if you've already made plans to give it back to the people it belonged to in the first place, how is that going, who did it piss off, and how did you go about it?
note: i don't own property

I will donate my condo to the first ILXer who promises to mix Negronis in it.

I um...also don't own property but side note, much like libraries don't accept donations because they don't need 10000000 John Grisham mass markets, I submit that specific Indian/First Nations people probably don't want to take care of your house in the suburbs or whatever. I bet there are specific "land back" policies and advocacy requests that we could all be helpful with, though!
Iirc there's an "open reservation" in Northern Minnesota, "open" as in, there are private properties held by non-indigenous people within the boundaries of their supposed sovereign territory, which yes is just as fucked up as it sounds. Anyway I think there's ongoing work to get more of that land completely ceded to the tribe(s) that maybe could use some more funding or voices, that seems interesting. Also, there's lots of anti-pipelines and anti-fracking fights that are being led by indigenous Americans! Go forth and look about.

Does all the money Boomers lose in Native-owned casinos count as reparations?

Non-Boomers too, of course; I just thought I'd add some clash-of-generations idiocy to the discussion.

there's a local parking lot that's expected to be "ceded" to an indigenous-affiliated land trust because it somehow costs the city less than selling it off to a developer (largely because the land trust is footing most of the bill). https://www.berkeleyside.org/2024/03/12/berkeley-shellmound-spengers-lot-sogorea-te-settlement

None of the Belgae, Celtic or Germanic tribes still have legal representation here, but it would be funny to put them in my will.

I’m sure they’d be happy to sell it and pocket the money. Or you could instruct the executor of your will to do that and then donate the money.
