The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal.
The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer’s $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the “First Angelenos,” said they appreciate Eilish’s sentiment, however, they noted that the performer hasn’t contacted them directly — and insisted that next time she explicitly reference them.
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
“It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson added.
Eilish was widely mocked for her comments on Sunday, as she yelled, “F–k ICE” from the stage while denouncing the US as stolen land.
“Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again? Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land,'” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X.
“Any white person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgement should immediately give his or her land to native Americans. Otherwise they don’t mean it. Also, I’m pretty sure they don’t mean it,” wrote Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on X.
“A gentle reminder that Billie Eilish, worth $50 million, has given $0.00 to the original inhabitants of this ‘stolen land,'” independent journalist Manny Marotta posted on X.

The tribes should apply to reclaim the land all the celebrities own.
Apparently, she’s this weeks Leftardniki Useful Idiot.
Next week, she’ll be replaced with some other useful idiot.
Right. Because it's HER property. Not yours. She's a virtue-signaling tw2t, and you're a bunch of idiotic racists.
Next year's cause cause célèbre hasn't been determined yet.

Be cool if someone from the tribe that the Tongva took the land from would demand that the Tongva the vacate their land.
“The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion”
Obviously some liberal wrote this article. :-) I seriously doubt the tribe actually owns the land.
But hey Mr. tribe dude — welcome to the party pal!
The Tongva tribe is giving a dimwit like Eilish way too much to think about when she goes on stage. She’s capable of babbling “no one is illegal on stolen land” but if she has to remember a specific land acknowledgement too? She’d probably short-circuit on stage.
I am not sure why the left keeps calling it stolen land. It was either bought or conquered like every other piece of land on the planet. It was not stolen.
Billie, look what you’ve started here. Your pompous, toss-a-way remark, spiced up with gratuitous profanity, has opened a Pandora’s Box of questions you never needed to deal with before. Keep talking, Billie.
Any freepers live around there? Can you file a police report on behalf of these victims, maybe get their land back from a thief like Billie.
A gentle reminder that Billie Eilish, worth $50 million”
How does she have that much? I thought the record industry is dead
OWNS or claims to own...Territory changed hands many times before the White Man came.
I think it’s a great idea that the tribes call out the virtue signalers. At the very least, it will be an opportunity for them to extract some money from these idiots. If they refuse, then the tribes can call them public hypocrites — which they are.
They never learn.
“The Native American tribe that owns...”
The Spanish “civilized” the land that the Tongva (and the Cahuilla and Luiseno tribes)lived on. Then the Mexicans took over when they won Independence from Spain. Then the Americans took over the land from Mexico. Long list of previous owners.
The tribes can demand in one hand and defecate in the other ... see which one fills up faster. Both sides are full of sewage, but the law says the hypocritical virtue-signaling tw2t owns the land.
"She stole our land"
