An Empty Story
<p>The master narrative of civilization in the Americas claims that brave European explorers “discovered” continents sparsely populated by stone age hunter-gatherers who had no use for land titles. When the hunting played out or the harvest season for fruits and vegetables ended, the Natives moved on, leaving little evidence of their presence other than grave goods and the remains of buffalo jumps or fish camps.</p>
<p>This master narrative proved the Americas to be <em>terra nullius</em>, nobody’s land, empty property ripe for the taking by men who knew how to use it in a civilized manner.</p>
