I disagree with broad brush statements about "uniquely-European" ideas when it comes to indigenous peoples of the Americas. The concept of land ownership, stewardship and ultimately domain of rule, were present with cultures across the Americas. This can be inferred though hunting grounds passed through clans, to land surrounding structures, like the tribe I am from. What seems to be interesting is the uniquely-American idea of the native monoculture or some kind of tribal harmony with land, resources, and people. It is a shame that our history is fragmented and understudied because it wasn't a Disney-esque utopia before the Vikings and Spaniards.
For what it's worth, I'm indigenous and maintain close ties to my family's pueblo in New Mexico.
