I am hard pressed to think of any part of the world where one group has
not encroached on their neighbours. Even the supposedly gentle Inuit
culture of our far north are recent arrivals to that god forsaken land
and had replaced an earlier culture.

I live in an area where the local indigenous people had been wiped out
in warfare between to other native groups. Many of the native bans
inhabited territories only so long as they could defend it from their
enemies.
