While some say colonized ancestral lands should be at least partially returned, others say that it is impossible to decide which of the various groups to have claimed land throughout history it should be returned to.
Maps show that the Abenaki—a confederacy of several tribes who united against encroachment from a rival tribal confederacy—controlled an area that stretched from the northern border of Massachusetts in the south to New Brunswick, Canada, in the north, and from the St. Lawrence River in the west to the East Coast.
This would put Ben & Jerry's headquarters, located in a business park in southern Burlington, within the western portion of this historic territory—though it does not sit in any modern-day tribal lands.

Throw in a Bernie Sanders mansion, too.

The Chief is confused about who is liable to pay for historic wrongs.
Virtue signalling leftist / chosen ones are exempt.

Well hippies, put your money where your mouth is. Give those Indians back their stolen land your HQ is on. Fully as hell, some Indian calls their bluff.

Ben & Jerry’s should relocate their headquarters to Europe. And take Justin Trudeau with them while they’re at it.
To: DesertRhino
It belongs to them....Let’s give it back!

Also, I think it would be fun to live in a place called “Cowasuck.”
“Where are you from?” would be my favorite question to answer.

LOLOL...we KNEW this was going to happen. B&J suggested that the Black Hills with Mt. Rushmore be returned to the Indians. It's easy to offer up land 1,500 miles from your HQ that you don't even own! It was a pathetic and hypocritical move on their part. The OBVIOUS thing to do is return the Vermont land to the Indians first. Their HQ IS built on "stolen land."
The B&J web site saying "Give Mt. Rushmore to the Indians" is still up!
The US Was Founded on Stolen Indigenous Land—This July 4, Let’s Commit to Returning It

I was going to say “Put up or shut up f’in libtard losers,” but your formulation works too

Ben and Jerry speak with forked tongues.
The most they’ll be giving the Abenaki is a 50 cents off coupon for an $8 dollar pint of ice cream.

Let me guess Ben or Jerry have not commented on their own stolen land.

And I don’t think they will.
