The "caretaker" theory sounds like a pacific northwestern indian claim;
in fact I think there's a specific quote from a specific indian chief
(in english, mind you, so you can't argue it's a mis-translation) that
says just about exactly that. No doubt different indians did have
different ideas on this. However - most NA tribes were at least
semi-nomadic - so there is in fact no real reason for them to develop a
strong sense of land ownership.

why can't I argue that it's a mistranslation? (assuming you're familiar
with the quote... ) did the chief speak/write in english?

Considering the nonsense people who should know better utter about *our*
culture ... it would be interesting to have the original, though.
