I bet aboriginal Australians, the peoples of most isolated island nations, and maybe a fair number of the farther flung American native peoples (Innuit, far South Americans…) have a fairly strong claim to living on “found” land, not stolen land.
Depending on how we define “stolen” one could argue that there are pockets of land all over Earth that’s inhabited by people with ancestral claims going back to time immemorial that don’t involve violent taking.
I would add the Ainu of Hokkaido and Sakhalin, the Malagasy (madagascar), Maori (New Zealand), most other Polynesian countries, and iceland to the list.
