    You can take anything of mine I don’t use.

    If I build a house and then leave it empty for months, and you need shelter - you are welcome to take shelter inside.

    The issue with colonialism is among other things, forced resettlement from land these people lived on. But this obviously doesn’t mean the land is owned by those people now, or should be owned in the private property sense by anyone.

      the subject of this thread is about land that indigenous people who are alive right now had access to before it was turned into a concentration camp right next to their homes.
