The Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting opened Monday, with one of the first items on its agenda being a “land acknowledgement.”
The DNC’s meeting comes weeks after a Quinnipiac poll showing only 19% of respondents approved of the party’s congressional leadership was released, while the party also dealt with infighting and difficulty meeting fundraising goals. After reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and brief remarks from the pastor of Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota’s church, DNC Chairman Ken Martin introduced the next speaker.
“Now please welcome a friend of mine from the Minnesota DFL, the treasurer, her name is Lindy Sowmick, who is from the Saginaw Ojibwe Nation and she’s going to deliver our land acknowledgment today,” Martin said.
Land acknowledgements are often used to acknowledge “indigenous peoples” who allegedly “owned” the land where an event is taking place, according to PBS.
“Good morning, DNC members, friends and relatives, let’s talk about the land for a second. The DNC acknowledges and honors the… Dakota people, who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis. The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes and the… great river, the Mississippi River for thousands of years before colonization,” Sowmick said. “This land was not claimed or traded, it’s part of a history of broken treaties and promises, and in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.”

We won that war, to the victor, go the spoils. Get over it.
In Canada, hardly any government meeting, from a local school board to Federal Government national defense discussions will open without an initial “Indigenous Land Acknowledgement”
Its the 2025 equivalent of waiving Mao’s red book, or giving a Nazi hand salute.
a tide of neo-marxist conformity and mental illness is washing over us.
“Lindy” — so she’s big into cultural appropriation of names? Didshe apologize for that?
And why didn’t those racists say a pledge to the Saginaw Ojibwe Nation?
And yet, none of these people ever give their property to those they say were displaced.
The Left substituted meaningless "virtue signaling" over "SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS" (SJW) and as usual, the Right followed along like sheep to the slaughter.
It's SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS (SJW) folks!!!
People keep saying, when are they going to learn, will they adjust, are they really going to double down on marxism and the hate America agenda. YES.
“Hi! We’re the Democrats! We want to make you feel guilty and take all your stuff. Like always.”
Nobody is preventing any lefty from giving their property to the Indians - why aren’t any of them doing it?
The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back
Said no sane person evar!
Where I live here in AZ was once Confederate territory (south of the 34th parallel).
I believe it would only be proper at my next public gathering here, that I pay tribute to the brave Confederates who once trod and died upon this land that was stolen from them by evil, White Yankees from back east!
The Arizona Territory, colloquially referred to as Confederate Arizona, was an organized incorporated territory of the Confederate States of America that existed from August 1, 1861, to May 26, 1865
That is BS. I would walk out of any event that does that.
I hope that they keep it up! Who knows how many votes this garbage costs them!
Untold centuries of subsistance hunter-gatherer living while at constant war with their neighbors. How did they take care of the lands, lakes, and rivers? And since they had no concept of ownership how was land that they did not own stolen from them?!
Ask Ms. Somick who the Dakotas stole it from. And, why she’s being so cruelly indifferent to those people, and racially biasing the Dakotas.

how ironic that the dems open their convention in minnesota with a member of the Ojibwe Indian tribe.
especially after the minnie somalis vaporzied all the indigenous tribe's history when they dropped the original minnesota state flag that featured an indian...........and replaced it with a somali look a like for the state flag
why aren’t any of them doing it

It’s always the same reason
Their “ contribution”
is forcing you
to make the rest of the
contribution’$.
And they will manage that $, for a few.
See, it’s not capitalism or greed when THEY do it.
Pretty sure the Dakotas murdered anybody they caught hunting in their hunting grounds. It’s how the primitives survive.
