I think that when you systematically use the power of government to effectively screw and entire race of people that the gravity of that matters a whole hell of a lot more than the statute of limitations.
but thats just me...
So like I said, if one of my ancestors was part of a group that was systematically screwed by a government 500 years ago, I should get a check in the mail?
What is the statute of limitation on the Indian claim in this case?
Depends on what claims we're talking about. If the Indians are getting paid out for the same discrimination claims that the blacks are (discrimination in the USDA in the 70-90s), then it probably hasn't run. If they're complaining about discrimination in the 1800's, it's run.
