That a really big debate right there. There have been so many wars in
Europe, so much death and other events that that can be debated. The
anglos basially conquered engalnd are they they rightful owners or are the
original ppl who lived there? Rightful owners is one of those circular
arguments i think. How many invasions of countries happened in
europe? How about the gaul celts? Ceaser conquered it, but his losses
were massive, you could say they paid in blood. Can you really "own" land
anyway? Any event will mark a place i think, as for who owns the land
rightfully, i was born in the US, does the past history mean i don;t belong
even though it is the land of my birth?

Also the ghost dance was a form of blood magic, i think the aztech book
basically said that, also the first set of novels said that as well. What
they did was sacrifice their life energy, it's pretty hard to beat that
kind of sacrifice anywhere. I think that's what powered the magic, plus
the fact that no one knew what the hell magic really was at first besides a
few group, native americans among them.
