This is a very hard question to answer because you (the reader) have been taught that you can own land. Our cultures believed that we were given the land, and it was the source of all life (that is still true, even for your culture though you may not realize it). We believe(d) that we possessed the land in only as much as the land possessed us and that you could never really own the land - or more so that you could not exclude another from the land. To translate: You could not use or hold land if you could not use it. Please also understand when reading this that these are 'your terms' and do not clearly confer the cultural differences between their usage. Your culture believes you can hold land in exclusion of another's use, and that you may do anything you want with the land - our culture believes that you can use only as much land as you can use, and certain things done to the land harms everyone (a death penalty offense).
