Should Elessar have ceded the Druwaith Iaur to the Druedain?

[Arthur_Vandelay]

According to a footnote to "The Druedain" in Unfinished Tales, the Druedain (kin of the Woses) of Druwaith Iaur "came forth from the caves where they dwelt to attack remnants of Saruman's forces [from the Battles of the Fords of Isen] that had been driven away southwards."

Given that Elessar ceded the Druadan Forest to the Woses as a reward for their services to Theoden in the War of the Ring, should similar recognition have been granted to their kin in the West?

We only get a detailed account of Aragorn's deeds in the early days of his reign-and he had a lot do do and so he cannot be blamed if he missed out on a few things-the Woses were hardly gregarious and she he may not have known about their help-Druwiath Iaur was practically abandoned anyway.

 

[Ardamir the Blessed]

Vinyar Tengwar issue no. 42, 'The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor':

Afterwards called still Drúwaith (Iaur) ‘(Old) Pukel-land', and its dark woods were little visited, nor considered as part of the realm of Gondor

This [Levnui] was held to be the boundary of Gondor in this direction; for beyond it lay the promontory of Angast and the wilderness of ‘Old Púkel-land' (Drúwaith Iaur) which the Númenóreans had never attempted to occupy with permanent settlements, though they maintained a Coast-guard force and beacons at the end of Cape Angast.

Drúwaith Iaur was never a region of Gondor.

I guess that clears that up . . .
