New York City, on the island of Manhattan, was itself stolen from the Indians when a few tribal elders signed it away to the Dutch for $24 in trinkets.

The rest of New York City—that is, the parts that became Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, and then Long Island and the Hudson Valley, all the way up to Fort Orange (Albany) were just taken by brute force and numbers. After the English took it from the Dutch, the rest of the state saw a steady rise in Europeans.

This is the way America became as it is.

The New York Times needs to vacate their building and all real estate holdings and give them back to the original Manhattans/Mohican tribe.

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.
