I know who owned this house (and land) before I did, going back decades. All of the ones I know about bought the property from someone else, in a mutually consensual arrangement.

Now, I know what you're trying to get to, so let me go ahead and address it.

Yes, this area was inhabited by the Commanche before the first "white-eye" settler moved here. And before the Commanche drove them away, this area was inhabited by other Native nations, including the Apache. That's as far back as I know, but I'd be willing to bet that those who were here before the Commanche kicked someone off the land. As did the previous inhabitants going back to just a short while after the first humans migrated to North America. So, who legitimately owned the land that I bought? Who did I violate?

All inhabited land on the planet has been stolen and traded for thousands of years. At some point, you've got to wipe the slate clean, because you aren't responsible for the distant past. All I know is that I didn't violate any living person to buy this house, and I refuse to violate anyone from this time forward.
