You are absolutely correct. We do not actually own anything. Our government has decided to say that we own our belongings and our property. We depend on our government to have enough military power to keep other countries from taking over our property. If our government fails to do that, we lose everything.
That is what happened to my Native American ancestors. Their government fought the European settlers in a war and lost everything. They were either killed in the war or captured and sold into slavery. Their daughter was then adopted into a white family, later married a white man, and that is why I am here today.
