Lessons from Settler Colonies and the Restitution of Nazi-looted Art

From around 1600, Europeans began to settle in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States and South Africa. They encountered peoples who had lived there for a long time: Aboriginal peoples in Australia (ca. 45,000 years), First Nations in the United States (ca. 12,000 years), Khoisan in South Africa (ca. 2,000 years), Inuit in Canada (ca. 1,000 years) and Māori and Moriori in New Zealand (several centuries).
