Yes? Consider Australia's situation where the natives had 0 concept of land ownership and sovereignty. Were the british colonists looking for more land just to assume that the aboriginals own the whole entire continent? Even though they used barely any of it at one time?
Mah that's ridiculous; even if they use only 10% most colonies ended up abusing and keeping natives at lower than they needed to enjoy their lives as they always did.
Plus it's easy to come and negotiate friendly, especially in Australia where it's not like it's crowded .
