like not to be a killjoy to the liberals about it, and I get what they mean when they say this is Naumkeag land, but land use was a lot more complex than just people owning the area, and it's important to recognize that the very idea of land ownership for tribes is a tool of colonialism to strip us from it, since it by default buys into the colonial idea that land can be owned, and therefore it can be rightfully taken or bought

By saying the tribe's land was owned by the tribe, my tribe's land was taken from us because of our "legitimate ownership" forced us to play by colonial rules about land ownership

by saying it's Naumkeag land, that's kind of an oxymoron
