I don’t believe sin is inheritable and I didn’t steal land from anyone, I was just born into a system that I’m doing my best to take part in.

The sin isn't heritable but land, like artifacts in the British Museum, doesn't stop being stolen because we've had it a long time or traded it amongst ourselves. I'm not advocating anything radical; I'm just saying it's reasonable to be a little uncomfortable about it sometimes.
That’s entirely a judgement call. I wouldn’t assume everyone feels that way.

The people my ancestors stole the land from, stole it from another indigenous tribe. Go back far enough and everyone is living on stolen land.
