What exactly had these natives built on this land ? NOTHING ! Not even one city. The land was practically uninhabited, same as Australia, same as Canada. What was despicable was that the Anglo-Saxons kidnapped black people from Africa and brought them to America as slaves without any right to the land which they cultivated. Apart from that everyone else had the right to colonise north America even the American-Indians.
Everyone has the fundamental right to feed themselves and choose where they live just as long as they do not prevent other from exercising the same right. The north American Indians had no right to stop other people from colonising the land whcih was empty and which they themselves were not using to stay alive. Over 95% of North America was unexploited by the north American Indians.
Should Europeans have died of poverty, disease and starvation while 1/3 of the worlds land was left idle. The north American Indians had over 20,000 years to colonise the land and they only managed to multiply enough to fill less than 5% before the Europeans came. Trying to
claim that the native Indians had the right to all the empty land in America is like America claming the sole right to the moon just because it landed 12 Astronauts on less than one hundredth of a percent of its surface.
A farmer can grow crops on the land and sell the excess to people that need it. He can also employ people to harvest the crops and till the land. They north American Indians were doing none of this and only occupied 5% of the land. Europeans came along and filled the void in the other 95%.
The north American Indians only occupied 5% of the land and were incapable of populating, exploiting or controlling the other 95%, nor did the have any more right to the other 95% than anyone else. To all intents and purposes the Europeans got to the other 95% before the native Americans.
