Stolen land was not returned by the government & others who took it from the Native Americans either.

I’m afraid of it also.

Absolutely not. No one currently alive was part of that system...therefore, they cannot have trauma from it unless they manufacture the trauma in their minds.
However, I do think that there are some broken treaties with some Native American tribes that DO deserve some compensation.
