The whole thing is just a huge waste of time. It does make some liberal academics feel good, but it’s not like they actually feel that bad about it. They mostly just want to make a big show of how virtuous they are. 

The actual natives I’ve known don’t care about an acknowledgment. If anything, acknowledging it’s stolen and still not returning it is even worse. 

Undisciplined

The problem is I don't think Native Americans are the ones pushing for land acknowledgments.  At least, not the majority of them.  This is an invention of liberal academia, much like the term "Latinx" which is proven to be disliked by the average Hispanic person.

"If it makes people feel better and gives them closure"..... but who are we trying to make feel better?  Liberal academics?

The real reason AOC purged her pronouns

interesting. never heard of that although i have been out of school/university for a while

i take a neutral point of view to most things like this - if it makes people feel better and it gives them closure... then ok. its not going to matter anyway
