This land was stolen

 I saw a meme saying "This land was stolen." I am sympathetic to the wrongs that were done to native Americans, and I know that over the centuries they were treated brutally at many times. 

In reading "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee", the atrocities committed by soldiers on the native Americans were as vile as anything I've ever read. 

Our family lore is that we have some native American ancestry, for what little that matters. 

Still, what happened here is nothing unique. All across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, there have been migrations and people pushed out of land that they had held for centuries. 

It has been going on for millennia and there is nothing unusual about what happened here. In England, the Celts had their land stolen by Angles, Saxons, Vikings, and Normans. 

That is true for almost every other part of the globe, as best I can tell.
