I think there is considerable wisdom in the traditions and values of the First Nations People around the world.
It might be useful to forgo "ownership" of land all together.
"What is this you call property? It cannot be the earth, for the land is our mother, nourishing all her children, beasts, birds, fish and all men. The woods, the streams, everything on it belongs to everybody and is for the use of all. How can one man say it belongs only to him?" -Massasoit
