    That echos what happened in Australasia so closely, and to a lesser extent New Zealand.

    Man, we have so much to give back to the indigenous populations for what we have taken.

      It’s SO similar. Same klepto-maniacial imperialist twits were inventing laws/policies for your country and mine: “free land” if you can clear it, white christian men are people and everyone else are uncivilized things, etc.

      We call upon federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments to repudiate concepts used to justify European sovereignty over Indigenous peoples and lands, such as the Doctrine of Discovery and terra nullius, and to reform those laws, government policies, and litigation strategies that continue to rely on such concepts. - Call to Action 47 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
