"We acknowledge we stole your land. We aren't giving it back. All you get is this lousy little placard. Enjoy."It is such a virtue-signaling thing to do. The libs get to feel smug that they've done something, even though that something is meaningless, trite, and very insulting.
I wonder what the Indian and First Nations tribes think about this.
where Americans can “give thanks by… giving land back.”

Morons. We ARE giving it back. Go to any major city and see what I mean.
“We acknowledge we stole your land. We aren’t giving it back. All you get is this lousy little placard. Enjoy.”
I would add.
“We also acknowledge that you stole the land from somebody else before we got here.”
Great point. Is there anything more “colonizing” than telling the natives how they must live?
That’s another great point. The illegal invaders are the very definition of “colonizers.” Ergo, the left must hate them and want to get rid of them. Just to be completely logically self-consistent, of course.
All the tribes. I’ve been following the Land Back movement for some time. It’s rather interesting actually.
What appears to be the goal is to return vast swathes of the US back to the “Indigenous” populations. They would start with all the National Parks, the State Parks and the BLM lands. Followed of course by confiscation of privately owned property.
There wouldn’t be much left of the US; just overpopulated Cities and transportation corridors.
I don’t know, it does have one appealing aspect. If I don’t get to have a “Country” why should anyone else get to have one?
My thought also.
Set the example, morons! 🙄
Give land back? We can start with the State of New York. Staten Island can be first. I’m all for it. The Indians were there first. If that’s not enough, Massachusetts can be next. While we’re at it, California, New Mexico, Nevada Arizona can go to the Mexicans. We are keeping Texas.

*Which tribe should we give it back to???*
Start with Hawaii and their 2 senators.
Strange. All my links showing how the tribes treated each other BEFORE the White Man arrived keep disappearing. So I will just post less links.

History consists of one tribe invading and conquering another, and taking its land, women and crops and killing or enslaving the males.
There is no way to undo all the invading. There is no way to “give back” land.
This isn’t really about that. For the Nation it’s about destroying the country that it hates so much.
My land, I’m keeping it!
**They should set an example by giving away their personal property. All of it.**
Yep. I have a farmer friend from my many years in Mercer County, Illinois. He has said that the native Americans should be given reparations, and much more land than their reservations.
I asked him, “So are you going to give them your 420 acres? And your house and buildings... should you give them that as well?
He quickly changed his tune, and muttered something more about the government enlarging their reservations, then changed the subject.
In my experience as a truck driver, I’ve met a variety of people from different ethnicities, even a few native Americans. They said essentially the same thing: it was a blessing to get off the reservation and make a career in the modern world.
I also heard a young Puerto Rican trucker say basically the same thing. He said he got sick of seeing his relatives living off the guvmint handout, and left there for the mainland to build a life for himself here.
They should start by setting an example and give up their own homes. The thing about liberals, the useful idiot types, is that they can’t imagine or comprehend a world where they don’t have enough food, shelter or luxuries they have grown up with. When the illegals started invading northern cities, look how quick they were to slam the door closed on sanctuary cities. They just don’t get it, even a little bit.
All the land on the planet belongs to the Neanderthals.
All we have to do is dig some up, recharge their DNA, and let them rule over us!

This is what the United Nations indigenous peoples initiative was all about.
These kind of articles reminds me of my term “recentism”
Where one only goes back in history far enough to support their claims
Ie give texas back to Mexico but conveniently not bring up the subject of how “Texas” became a part of Mexico and how Mexico even came to exist
American indians(I know fascist, homophobic nazi term) want the land back that Europeans stole, but never mention who they took it from and who that tribe took it from took it from……
Lol perhaps not ownership but they sure fought a lot of wars of perhaps occupation
The many changes of “occupation” of black hills region is a fascinating story
Wasn’t all peace love and jimmi Hendricks before mean ole Europeans showed up
But you are called racist nazi by Che tshirt wearing leftist if you even bring that up
