Why am I to blame for native american injustice, and why I am to pay for compensation?

As a 4th generation descendant of immigrants from scotland to Canada why am I held to blame for that?

Why are we still paying compensation for pain that was not experienced by today's people and not inflicted by my peers or myself?

The word for it is 'reparation'. It's to make amends for any injustice done in the past.
Historically, communities and countries who have been subjected to years of exploitation are paid so by their rulers/invaders etc. In most cases these countries and communities have been disadvantaged for generations because of it.
