Unless you're a descendant of the Quinnipiac tribe you likely are living on appropriated land.

Something to ponder...

[Hekate]

1. Connecticut? Really? I live on what used to be Chumash land.

Something else to ponder.

[msongs]

2. how far back shall we go on owner ship. hmmm nt

[WarGamer]

4. Only as far back as convenient to make the point lol...

[Hekate]

5. Well, we know the Chumash were on the Central Coast at least 10,000 years until the Spaniards came

Central Coast of California, that is. I just don’t automatically orient toward the East Coast.

3. Every centimeter of the planet had someone come before someone else.

A few exceptions, sure... but it's pretty much the whole story, globally.

Humans have been beating each other with stones and sticks and taking their land for as long as we've been walking on 2 limbs.

12. So true. And there were undoubtedly turf battles between

Homo sapiens and Neanderthals and Denisovans and Homo naledis.

Humans and almost-humans have been a terrible pox on the planet. We've been here for a small blip of time in the context of the cosmos and have managed to ruin the environment and inflict unceasing horrors upon each other.

6. And if you're a descendant of the Quinnipiac tribe, you also are likely living on appropriated land.

8. They came from Siberia but were people already living there?

7. I'm living on land of the Swinomish tribe in the state of Washington

We pay rent to the tribal owners of this land. The reservation that they were relegated to with the Treaty of Point Elliott is a sad fraction of what was once their ancestral land. Paying rent to the tribe assuages some of the inherited shame of what our forefathers did to America’s first people. Living on their land is an opportunity to better understand each other’s culture.

9. That's not my understanding of New Havens history.

I think this was tried some years ago by a lawyer trying to build a casino.
Best of luck to you.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Wow. I had no idea they were originally all over this

country.

Learn something new.

[Sky Jewels]

11. Wait, what?

I'm honestly curious why you singled out the Quinnipiac tribe. Were they the first people established in North America or something? I feel like I'm missing something connected to the specificity of your statement.

[Wonder Why]

13. A number of tribes took lots of land from others. Ask the former enemies of the Lakota.

[Marius25]

14. Yup. Every single American who isn't Indian is a European colonizer

I've never heard complaints about that though.

But I hear endless claims that Jews who live in Israel are European colonizers who stole all of Palestinians land, despite most Palestinians originating from Arabia.

Once again, it's Antisemitism plain and simple.
