The American Indians thought THE LAND belonged to the GREAT SPIRIT

Tribe rejects land-dispute agreement offer, Brown says

It is mind boggling how the capitalist concept of PRIVATE PROPERTY is implicated in so many news stories. The rising capitalist families - like the Brown family - leading the New England Industrial Revolution - could only sneer at the Native American idea that THE LAND everywhere belonged to the GREAT SPIRIT . Individuals could not OWN the good earth. 

The final irony would be for these American Indians to recover THEIR land as capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY , build casinos on it, 

and invite the working class WHITE MAN to get drunk in them and gamble away the mortgage and the kid's college tuition.
