Hi Rob -

You need to consider that the GR consider Willamette stolen goods, and not only that, stolen religious goods. You call it "grandstanding". If the building had not been constructed around Willamette, they would have legally fought for its return. The agreement they struck shows good will on their part; perhaps you might want to consider that.

You resent their success with their casino, but consider that in their view
some of the best parts of the entire state of Oregon were stolen from them as well.

Sometimes peoples love for meteorites leads them to do things they would not otherwise do. I would ask that you consider your words more carefully.

Ed
