The US Was Founded on Stolen Indigenous Land—This July 4, Let’s Commit to Returning It
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.
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.
Turn it into a casino resort,
with free ice cream for all.
What about the capital gains?

Let me guess Ben or Jerry have not commented on their own stolen land.
This is utter nonsense but it’s funny.
Yep, how many different tribes occupied the very same land, before Ben and Jerry did? More than a few, I am sure.
Who did Mr. Stevens ancestors take the land from? Surely no one is suggesting that they “created” the land! To the victor go the spoils.
You cant steal back something you stole from someone else and they stole from someone else before that. Its a republic..... if you can keep it. - Ben Franklin.
Yep - it seems that none of the folks who want to “give all the land back” don’t realize that there’s almost no real estate on the planet that hasn’t “changed hands” on the whole planet - it ALL belonged to someone else at one (or two or three) time(s).
Let’s put up a fort
And start buying the place with beads...
How about all the lands those cows that gave the milk grazed on?
Sorry, but I look at it differently. Real history shows tribes “stole” land from other tribes so just how the Hell can it be determined exactly who the genuine “owner” was. Also, the land wasn’t stolen, it was vanquished.
The leftards euphemistic degradation of the language is going to bite them on the ass with this line of insanity, it’s rather entertaining to see.
This giving the Indians back their land thing is like reparations.
What was legal and culturally acceptable centuries ago cannot be turned around to make today’s people pay for it.
People of today were not slaves of a past era, the same goes with those expected to pay reparations in that they never owned slaves today or of a past era.
The Indians were defeated in a war and lost, and those Indians were of a past era. Those that hold legal title to those lands never stole the lands from anyone, they paid someone else who likely purchased the land from yet another and on and on.
Only a leftist communist government would even consider either. And it would not be for the betterment of Blacks or Indians, it would be for the advancement of communism by creating further divisions in society.
“Ben & Jerry’s has not yet publicly responded to calls to return the land its headquarters is situated on.”
