      So early 1900’s the land was stolen. Then farmers produced product for locals and possible exports. Then said okay we are taking your land without compensation because your great grand parents stole this land?

          Crime has existed for as long as man has walked earth. Some things are stolen and never get returned. This is a strange concept. Due to early 1900s your great ancestors stealing land. We are stealing the land back from you without giving you compensation.

          They are doing the exact action that happened over 100 years ago. So nothing was learned?

            Ok, but that didn’t answer my question. I’m thinking of going on a crime spree and stealing a bunch of things. When is it no longer considered stolen?
