Stealing 10,000 years ago was more acceptable than stealing 100-200 years ago which is when the american indians were robbed. And the proof of stealing from 10k years ago is not there yet and may never be there.

I don't know where you get your facts, but my study of history indicates that stealing of land from one's conquered opponent was in vogue as late as WWI. Look at how the Austro-Hungarian Empire was re-shaped into Poland, Germany, etc.

If anything it was America that pioneered the END of the stealing of land from a conquered opponent. Instead, America rebuilt conquered foes into formidable trading partners with democratic freedoms and healthy economies.

The spoils of war were equally acceptable in 1850 as they were in 10,000 B.C.

You ignore my entire point that the North American Indian tribes claim some sovereign dibs on the continent as if they blossomed on Midwestern prairies. American Indians' grievance their land was violently stolen from them, which of course I do not dispute, is not mutually exclusive from the high probability that they stole it from some other people as well. Same goes for the Mexicans. We stole it fair and square and we don't owe anyone any apologies.
