I’m not Indigenous, but I can’t help but feel that stuff like this and land acknowledgements are such empty gestures.
When it comes to inconsequential things like anthems, politicians will say “I’m open to the changes that Canadians want to see!” but you stop hearing stuff like that as soon as Indigenous people start trying to have their rights respected.

I would personally much rather see people on reserves get proper housing and utilities.
Yeah, but that would cost money. Cheaper to do this instead.
True.
And depressing.
100% agree, either give the land back or shut up. Lip service only serves those with white guilt.
