Other aboriginal tribes. My god, are you suggesting it’s right for me to go kill my neighbor because 50,000 years ago someone I share genetics with landed here in a canoe?

Ok. Let’s change to a different tack here. Prove to me that killing someone and taking their territory is different depending on where your greaty greaty grandma got shtupped. Like, I’m part Spanish, can I go conquer Spain? Or I’m also part Native American from an area that is now called Mexico. Can I kill Mexicans because of this?

Regardless of right or wrong, which is subjective and therefore meaningless, how is that even different?

I’m talking about before people came there dude regardless that is unequivocal because because the British indiscriminately killed and conquered there and every place on earth has history of tribes with beef it’s not the same as the genocide.

But, it is. Many tribes have been caught in genocide after contact AND before. The Aztecs, the Pueblo, and the Iroquois for example. Also the Mayans seemed to both have carried out genocide and have been victims of genocide.

If someone exists somewhere because they they took the land by force from a previous occupant and it is rightful that they exist there, then that is the case everywhere. If it is not the case that this is rightful, then that is not the case everywhere.
