Native tribes have lost 99% of their land in the United States

New data set quantifies Indigenous land dispossession and forced migration

[patmat.]

Your stats don't sound scientific.

In nature, such a big scale of habitat loss can't fail in swiping off any species ....

It requires money to make money. This is the best secret I have discovered we don't make money, we EARN and MULTIPLY money 💶

[Sleepy.Time.]

they just wandered in and claimed it, that would be like me landing on a unmarked island and presto its mine forever...does not work that way

I believe that 99% extends to the entire continent both of them now the Inuit people that live in Canada are not under French the rest of North America European influence Spain and England South America again Spain and Portugal among others most the languages are spoken are from Europe goes to show you the percentage of indigenous

We are currently buying back the lamd by the bag from our local hardware stores, throw some of my top soil over the corruption then the land is open again

What about all other countries in the world? Everyone has lost land throughout history... What's really the point of this video? It seems go woke or go broke...

[slook]

What does this have to do with science?

[Nill]

And 99% of those tribes forced other tribes off the land before them.

01:48 This is the bit where it gets interesting. More people should learn about this.
For all the rest I'd ask why this is on a science channel, not a channel dedicated to history, and would also say "Yeah, no shit they lost 99% of their land. All of the United States is built on it." Again, why this is mentioned on a channel about science as if it's some kind of new discovery is genuinely puzzling to me.

I'm swedish, not american, but, am i correct in saying "Native tribes have lost 99%", but no because it's worse, 100%?

They’re allowed to practice literal ethno-Nationalism and no one bats an eye. Either we let everyone do it or we don’t, but we need to call out the double-standards

[bertwesler]

All I want to know is why I should give a shit.

Wasn't their land to begin with. They came here by crossing the Bering Strait when it was frozen. They fought and killed each other for land long before Columbus and after. The European colonized areas the so called natives were not living in.

No such thing as a "native" American, no more "their land" than any other group who's inhabited a land and lost it in battles and conflicts throughout history anywhere else. I feel deeply for the plight, but it's based a bit on a logical fallacy to begin with. Their tribe "stole" it from another tribe, and on, and on, and on.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Time to give back Manhattan, Washington, and Wilmington, it seems! ✌🏼

[MaximilianoSantillan]

Eso es totalmente mentira, hay que entender como se determina el derecho de propiedad, John Locke lo explica bien, uno puede reclamar propiedad en la tierra trabajada o habitada, no puede un pueblo nómade o en pequeños asentamientos reclamar miles de hectáreas como suyas porque no las pudo trabajar y tampoco habitar mucho menos con las bajas poblaciones de las época. Otro tema importante son los conflictos bélicos que se desarrollaron para conquistar territorios. Y los descendientes actuales no tienen ningún derecho retroactivo por esas tierras.

Lost is an amazing word. Actually Get Lost America....

[nickyyyyy]

You can't defend it you lose it. It has been the way throughout history.
Get over it.
