It kind of shows the ridiculousness of the whole idea, given that it claims that people who were born here stole their homes from several overlapping nations.

What's the ridiculous part?

The ridiculous part is that some land claims have multiple nations claiming the same territory.

So how did we steal it if it didn't belong to any particular person or group?

The linked site seems to just be informational, about the First People on North America. I don't think the site is accusing us of theft. They probably assume we know about the broken treaties, murder, kidnapping of children, destruction of native culture, converting the continent into real estate, etc., etc.
