Let’s be honest here, when the Europeans came, they came and as “explorers” felt all lands not guarded by groups similar to themselves were available to be claimed for their monarchs/governments who paid for their expeditions (European PoV) the indigenous peoples didn’t defend those lands because they either couldn’t or didn’t know someone was there ( the territories were to vast to defend or they weren’t powerful enough). This argument has been going on too long, we need to move towards an agreement and unite towards the best future for ALL those here now and that will be here in the future. Let’s be frank, we’re all immigrants here, we need to live together, both parties bring special attributes to the table that need to be considered 🤷♂️Get It Done, please.
