Indigenous tribe wants there stolen land back that Ben and Jerrys built their Hq's on

Don't quit your day job.
Come on - Turtle Island is the name many Algonquian- and Iroquoian-speaking peoples mainly in the northeastern part of North America use to refer to the continent.
Such as Mohicans - just because you might find Iroquois or Hurons to be more cool - doesn't mean that I might be wrong. - Gotcha.

And they (all so called red-Indians) constantly waged war amongst each other and robbed each other's lands, peoples, turkey's, buffaloes and corn crops.
So stop playing innocent - all humans carry the same trait.
 
Was, not is.
Hey, at least they paid for Manhattan~

What I understand is that no native ever sold any of their land at all, ever.
The time Manhattan was purchased was by some traveling hunters, to some Dutch.
{...
in 1626, a Dutchman named Peter Minuit bought the island of Manhattan from the Lenape Indians, an eastern branch of the Delaware Nation, for the bargain price of twenty-four dollars' worth of glass beads and trinkets.
...}
The natives the Dutch gave the beads to, where not the owners, but just members of the tribe.
And the native though they were just being compensated for having to hunt elsewhere.
There was no explanation that the Dutch were going to stay.
 
I give the US some credit..since we're one of the very few that ever gave a rat's ass about those they defeated and overran.

Not a lot of granting sovereignty and limited territoriality in history, just sayin'

Actually, only the US used deliberate genocide to wipe out the natives.
The Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese in Mexico, Central America, South America, etc., did not want to stay, so never attempted genocide.
All those areas still are over 80% native.
Only in the US is the native population down to 2.9%
 
Specify which land each tribe owns. :popcorn:

Hardly matters, since the native own all of it.

You ignorant and a fool

They often did sell land

They were the owners just as the cherokee were owners of land gthey sold as were many other tribes. It is true that some land was stolen and some was purchased but most was simply empty and unclaimed.
