The Great Labor Shortage Debate

Yep. Same way other countries started all throughout history.

Not really. Most saw centuries of incessant wars, plagues, limited resources, etc. Quite the contrast with the USA.

Yup. By stealing lands which did not belong to them, exploiting slave labor, having access to limitless resources including farm lands and rivers with an almost endless amount of fish and animals to hunt and to eat for free, etc.

So have you deeded over any real estate you own to the local tribe? You should since you admit it is stolen property. And have you paid reparations to the heirs of those whose slavery you benefitted from from? It must come to many tens of thousands of dollars, but since it was gained through exploitation you should give it back with interest. Why would you keep it? Oh. What are you doing to stop hunting In your state?
Have the courage of your convictions and give it all back. Lead by example.

I have Native American blood while others came in slave/prison ships from Spain. Not one of my ancestors benefited from slavery or stole land. On the contrary, our wealth and lives were stolen from us. Since you are conceding that we victims should be compensated, I'll gladly take my portion now.
