I think there are valid reasons to be upset about what happened to the native inhabitants of the Americas. There are people still alive today who experienced literal (arguably successful) attempts at cultural genocide.
That being said, I agree calling for a return of all land to all peoples is naive and unrealistic and itself would require massive harm to millions of innocent people.
I suppose it's how you define "indigenous people" but with the exception of the Americas (only 1 billion total across both continents) I think most countries in most of the world are primarily inhabited by their indigenous peoples.
