Simple, don't claim ownership... Stewarding land is different than owning land. Consuming resources to meet your needs and the needs of your community is part of the life cycle with land holding intrinsic value and ownership of its self. Land gives part of itself (you can call it a gift) to provide for the whole (animals, plants people etc) living on it. Just as we can give back to the land to improve on this life cycle (permaculture homesteads).
Giving the land 'person-hood' is one method of addressing this issue in our paradigm. Much like New Zealand giving person-hood to a river. That way, the land has inalienable rights as well.
I wrote something in more detail answering this question more fully by describing a system that can easily transition us out of our present paradigm.
