Land claims are crucial to First Nations people as they embody the recognition of their inherent rights to traditional territories and resources. These claims are integral for preserving cultural identity, ensuring access to ancestral lands, and maintaining traditional practices. Additionally, successful land claims can lead to economic opportunities and self-governance, empowering communities to make decisions that affect their futures. Ultimately, land claims are a means of rectifying historical injustices and fostering reconciliation.
Owning any land causes conflict based on the simple premise that if one person owns the land, nobody else does. Specifically in Antarctica, different nations have competing claims over certain "wedges" of Antarctica.

No one, no nation owns Antarctica. Several nations have made claims of territory on the Antarctic continent, and the Antarctic Treaty (1960) holds all claims in abeyance and forbids any future claims. The treaty protects all land south of 60 degrees S on the planet for the scientific pursuit of questions regarding the health of the Earth.

Several European nations had overlapping claims on territories. The Spanish were given Florida from the French, then got into a territorial dispute with Britain, turning over the land in the Pinkney Treaty of 1795.

It was about to become the permanent property of Spain, but Thomas Jefferson beat them to the claim by working out a deal with France for the Louisiana Purchase.
