Who Owns the land and by What Right?

Here are eight of the possible views of land ownership:

#1 Historic Right

#2 Worldview/Religion/Moral Claim

#3 Present Possession

#4 Military Might (The most popular view with most people in most of history)

#5 Best Use

#6 Diplomacy/Compromise

#7 Legal Claim

#8 Visitor Status (No one group, nation, religion, ideology, etc. “owns” the land. All humans are merely visiting. We must share.)



In the Light,
