But it wasn't until man developed money, that he could acquire more land than was necessary to satisfy his needs, for without money and the preservation of that which he grows, man would have no use for land beyond what he needs to sustain himself.

Posessions are very different than property, and the labour value definition of property, used by Locke et al., was used to dispossess indigenous peoples of their land.

If you are interested, this an excellent chapter on property rights and aboriginal rights. I could also scan a copy if you are interested:
