    Every single person alive today is on stolen land

    Who the Aborigines stole the land from? Or Polynesians?

      Each other.

      These people fought, they aren’t some sort of saints that always got along peacefully for 60,000 years.

      This part of history always gets ignored, but there are archeology studies showing it definitely happened.

        Interesting theory. So Americans stole the land from Americans because there was a civil war? That’s definitely a way to look at it.

          You’re grouping together people who were not together. The different tribes that existed were similar to the countries that exist today, though obviously a little less formal in nature.

          It’s not a civil war when two different tribes fought. Any more than it would be a civil war if Canada and the US fought.
