If White people had been able to simply walk into North America and displace those already there, just like people have been doing with land for many thousands of years, would it still be called stealing?
Can you discover or steal land if you don't cross an ocean with ships to do it?

Actually the oldest recorded settlement in all the Americas is in Texas dating back 23,000 years featuring a square foundation for living quarters that matches the earliest foundations in Europe found in Spain that date back 14000 years, the real migration...Zaroku likes this.

seems the Vikings weren’t first
Everybody, it seems, wants a piece of the discovery. The Irish claim centers on St Brendan, who in the sixth century is said to have sailed to America in his coracle. The Welsh claimant is Madog ab Owain Gwynedd, who is said to have landed in Mobile, Ala., in 1170. The Scottish claimant is Henry Sinclair, earl of Orkney, who is said to have reached Westford, Mass., in 1398. The English have never claimed first contact, but in the English colonies was sometimes invoked in connection with English origins.
After the War of Independence, when the new American republic needed to dissociate itself from England, Cabot was displaced in the , despite the fact that he had never visited what is now the U.S. Eventually, the fact that Columbus was an Italian Catholic sailing in the service of Spain caused unease in a country in which the dominant group was descended from English Protestant colonists, and so the myth of a Norse discovery was born in the late 18th century. In the years since, the continued persistence of this myth has illustrated just how easy it is for false history to have serious consequences.
