Native Americans believe they are entitled to land based on their historical and ancestral connections to the territory, which they inhabited long before European colonization. They view the land as sacred and integral to their cultural identity, traditions, and spirituality. Treaties made with the U.S. government, often violated or disregarded, further reinforce their claims to land rights. Additionally, many tribes assert their legal rights through ongoing efforts to reclaim or protect their ancestral lands.
