That is what the royals have done. all of their wealth comes from STEALING from the people of the UK.
Totally silly idea, but lets run with it.

Wasnt the area that is now New York bought for some blankets and bangles?

Bit unfair that eh? I dont think any court in the US would allow such unfair trading to be legally binding nowadays. So you do in fact advocate forcing everyone out of the area and allowing the descendants of the original natives to take control of it.

What about areas of land where the Native Americans were just forced out as opposed to being swindled?

Where on earth are you going to force all those displaced US citizens? Would any country want to take them in?
