The colonists came from Great Britain (mostly from England). The land area of the colonies was used by Native Americans, who had a great sense that they belonged to the land and that they should look after it in harmony with Nature. They might not have understood the concept that the the land 'belonged' to them, in the way that European nations carved up land between them and drew borders on maps.
