The government has no legitimate claim.

Legitimate according to who? Legitimacy is generally defined as 'legally acceptable'. So who made the laws that said the US government could not have the land?

I mean within the context of the typical AC view (ie no use of force).

I think the conventional definition of "legitimate" is absurd. Legally acceptable according to what standard? Why, the standard set by a legitimate legislative authority! And what kind of legislative authority is legitimate? One that's legally acceptable!

The dawn of the modern term state was made in large part of the principle to protect rights and mainly property rights of the people that inhabit a certain piece of land (nation if you will), from this the principle of the state as a legal entity with obligations and rights was born.

Before this 'state' meant people and its other form 'status' meant someone who rules them. Which if you think about it, tells a story of its own.
