The colonists embraced a line from Psalms 2:8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee, the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Since then, European settler states have similarly declared god their real estate agent: from the Boers seizing South Africa to the Zionists seizing Palestine. Uh huh. Mormons did this in Utah too, in order to wriggle out of having to pay the Utes, Shoshones, Goshutes, Paiutes, and Navajos for the land. If the Shoshone should be thus considered, the Utes and other tribes would claim pay also. The land belongs to our Father in Heaven and we calculate to plow it and plant it and no man shall have the power to sell his inheritance for he cannot remove it. It belongs to the Lord. - August 1, 1847 Yet a whole SEVEN DAYS LATER they offered to purchase the land that is now Weber County from Miles Goodyear... AKA the white dude who was hardly ever even in Utah, his fort was kept in operation by his Ute wife, and his Spanish land grant was a complete fake. Still more valid than indigenous claim, apparently.
