"'Settlers didn't steal the land, they conquered it and denatured it. They turned it into property."

Except they stole the land. "Conquered" and "denatured" is just rhetoric... when you take possession of a space by ruse and/or force, then impose an arbitrary rule on its possession -or exclusion to it- this means appropriation by STEALING.

Most of the land on Turtle Island was unceded to the settlers, much less their regimes. Their states acquired them by a stroke of pen, then with guns. That is thievery.
