This is a good time to start considering what it means to be homo sapiens ... not tribal beings but a species of brothers and sisters. In the DNA. Unless we suddenly realize it, we're heading for a time when millions of people displaced by nature will be knocking at all the doors. If we aren't preparing for that great migration, we're head in sand.
A revolution is on its way. If I understand what you're saying, then Rousseau (Origin of Inequality) spoke on the behalf of every human ever displaced by colonialism when he wrote:
"The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said 'This is mine', and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."
