There is different tribes and clans in the area we call dunland, but they aren't United. They just want their old land back before the Rohirrim more or less chased all of them out or killed them. Gondor owned the land, but no dunedain lived there. Spot on reply! Kudos, when I get on my wikia His entire premise is false, the Dunedain did live their, but sparsely at the time. The land was owned by Gondorians, though it would be hard to press the claims. His entire premise is correct, you are mistaking 'a single incorrect statement' with 'an entirely wrong point'

The basic idea he had was wether a land was owned by a state or by a ethnicity- which is basically what this all is about.

Just because his last sentence wasn't entirely correct doesn't make his entire premise false The lands were never "theirs" they belonged to the Gondorians of Calenardhon.

The dunlendings didn't own the land. They lived in it. Only the King of gondor owned the land (I am presuming the gondorians used a feudal system).
