I don't see a good argument that any land belongs to any person on earth. That said, subsisting off a single piece of land for 250 years is a much better claim than "we want this for economic/military development". I also tend not to side with the party that gasses 1000 pet dogs as part of their forced relocation process.

About 1,000 pet dogs were taken – some straight from screaming children – and gassed with exhaust fumes from American military vehicles.
