they built from the natural environment

and

they didnt exploit the environment

He means undeveloped in a colloquial sense of civilisation; as in permanent residence, infrastructure, etc.

im not saying native land was undeveloped, because the land that the natives were on

I'm not even talking civilizational-wise

so who said the natives didnt have civilization?

I'm talking in the most basic terms possible

no one

you're just assuming shit lol

the amerindians of the caribbean had towns spanning islands

the mayans had actual cities

??

but you called the land untamed

yes

but the natives were there

so its untamed by your standards?

lol

the natives didnt own every square foot of land and only actually developed various parts of the two continents

I mean.

hey everyone! TIL your right to your land is determined by whether you make roads or not

lol

???

but you just said the right to land was first come first serve

so they have to exploit the shit out of all of it to own it?

I'm saying that 100% of the land wasn't owned by natives

couldnt they let nature be?

you have to exploit land to own it?

idk why you keep saying exploit, is building roads and buildings really exploiting land

it literally is exploiting it

Technically, the natives still own land under trust with the Federal Government of the United States, hence why the Bureau of Indian Affairs and reservations exist.

wait

so did natives

exploit land

dunno, does it matter?

you brought it up LOL

they built canoes and huts and shit so yeah

they did

whats your point

like you said, they didnt exploit all of it

YOU brought up EXPLOITATION
