The viewpoint that sees USA Amerindians (sometimes even Mexicans because they are distantly related) having more claim to USA than white Americans, because of their race. They also migrated from elsewhere. An example, New York could have first been settled 10,000 years ago. Over that huge time-frame: countless tribes have settled, moved, or were conquered on the same exact land. 2000 years ago, a riverbank could have been taken by an Algonquian tribe, with previous inhabitants being assimilate or driven away. A rival Iroquoian tribe conquers the tribe that occupied the riverbank, and now they occupy it. Later, a new tribe from across the ocean (British settlers) arrives, and they conquer the Iroquoian people of the riverbank. Finally, the US forms and takes that same riverbank from the British Empire.
This ongoing process shaped history, different ethnic identities comes and go. Liberals naively exclude white people as having no right to live on some land, when the previous "indigenous" people were also new to that territory at one point, probably killing, assimilating, or driving away whoever was there before.
