To summarize many dialogues I had in school, some years ago:

Leftist: We stole the land from the Native Americans!
Me: Who did they steal it from?

The native americans believed in "conquering" just like the rest of the world at the time. They did it all the time amongst their own....killing off and sucking up other tribes.

They sided with the British during the Revolutionary War.

We were more than decent to them.

Casinos and casinos...What a legacy.

They have done themselves wrong.

My response is, “Well that’s what they get allowing their country to be flooded by illegal immigrants.”

I always answer liberals with “and how did their open borders policy work out for them?”

The land has passed between so many cultures over eons and sometimes mere decades that only possession grants right of title.

"Leftist: We stole the land from the Native Americans!

Maybe these folks:

Vintage Skulls

The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old.(snip)

Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.(snip)

... but they imply that the first wave of people arrived in the Americas more than 30,000 years ago. This suggests archaeologists should be looking in older geological strata."
