"What's best for the aboriginals" is a pondering that originates from a colonial mindset. It implies that one's opinion about the best course of action is more important, or superior, than those who's opinion actually matters. Furthermore, colonialists don't exactly have a good track record of making morally sound choices regarding land. Not only is our opinion irrelevant; our opinion has been abundantly demonstrated to be awful in every single way. We need to stop. Giving it to the last inhabitant, yes possibly conquerer, is really the only choice we have (apart from doing nothing and stealing the land) - to put things back the way they were.
