Here, You Can Have this "Reservation," We'll Just Take the Rest.

The land rights of indigenous people worldwide have been abused, exploited, and downright stolen. Generally speaking, the native peoples of a land have vaguely established boundaries, share common ownership or usage of land and resources, and are otherwise unestablished. Although legal safeguards in recent years have established protection for indigenous people and their land, this regulation is most likely too little too late. All over the globe, native and historically peaceful people have been abused and taken advantage of by more established, devloped, or more numerous cultures. In the rich history of the United States, this can be seen with the treatment of the Native Americans. The people who lived here before we got here. Our government, in the name of progress, stole their land and placed them in certain areas, restricting their movement and indigenous rights. Then we renegged on those contracts and took even more land. When they protested, they were slaughtered and left dead in the prarie. The United States is not the only country guilty of these attrocities. Australia, Africa, and Southeast Asia have all seen their fair share of violating the land rights of indegenous peoples.
