That is criminal law, and about persecution. This is civil law. So there is no statute of limitations.

Moreover, he isn't looking for retribution, but restitution. He just wants his land back.

“prosecution”, but, no, civil law has statutes of limitations, too, in fact crimes without statutes of limitations are more common than civil wrongs without them.

See, e.g., this discussion of California’s civil statutes of limitations: https://statelaws.findlaw.com/california-law/california-civi...
