The Thrill Of Discovery
There can be few allegations more insulting than that some foreigner "discovered" your land. I mean, if there are already human natives living on that land, others should have no right to claim that they "discovered" the place. Yanou, dibs on the "discovery" thing since you're already living there. Moreover, crediting someone else for discovering your homeland is, in effect, declaring that someone's superior and that their explorers have more of an ability to recognize where you are and how to name your land than you do.
