The time scales of these two events differ by an order of magnitude.

The person with the last clear chance to influence the border of modern 
Israel was a crazed Mason who lived during your lifetime (I think, if 
you're over 50).

The nearest indian who might have occasionally come up to my land to 
hunt (far from any indian settlements) died well over a century ago, 
despite the relatively recent settlement of the west.  If it were 
possible to reincarnate an actual indian (not 7/8 Danish and Scottish, 
or whatever), he'd still be welcome at my place.  Maybe he could teach 
me a thing or two.  Trouble is, all of his suggestions for hunting and 
fishing efficiently would be illegal today!
