As for the responses, well, all land is 'stolen', if you like, even in the Old World. Ownership of most land in England 'transfered' to a small group of disreputable francophone maniacs after 1066, for instance. Ownership of most land held by neither the crown nor private landowners was routinely 'stolen' from common ownership from the 12th century onwards and accelerated at a sickening pace - from the perspective of this prole - after 1604. In the twentieth century, much privately owned land was 'stolen' by the state for military purposes. Or to put it more succinctly - and note that I don't agree with the political sentiment behind this - La propriété, c'est le vol!
True if you go far enough back in history, all though the Norman conquest of England is an extreme example. William the Conquror is a member of a rather small and exclusive club of people who stole a country - basically the most lucrative kind of theft there is - other members being Cecil Rhodes, Pizarro, Cortez.
But the theft of America is the biggest land grap in history and it left the victims at the bottom of the social ladder in all countries, where they have remained ever since. So a case for some kind of redistribution could centainly be made.
