Go to Crow Agency or Lame Deer and ask around. Or listen to KILI radio and hear them joke about it. The idea of land acknowledgements is not what is (often) rejected - it's that they're seen as virtue signaling that doesn't lead to change.

I went to the Colorado river Symposium. I heard tribal representative after tribal representative yearn for more acknowledgment, not plead for less. I’m going to take their words for it.

I guess it must be unanimous then! Listen to KILI online sometime. Seriously, it's great.

Nothing is unanimous sir. But i asked you to support your position with data and you didn’t. I will check out kili

Yeah, I kinda don't think that data exists. Your's is as anecdotal as mine. But I'll forgive you - sounds like you're new to these parts.

I am. I’ve never pretended otherwise. I am not Native American. But I attended a symposium and transcribed the remarks of dozens of representatives of tribes who wanted the acknowledgements in place and wanted them to go farther. They did not feel acknowledgement was performative.

I’m trying to find a copy of the transcript to show you but I don’t think it’s online and also you’d have to wade through hundreds of pages of people talking but you would indeed find lots of acknowledgement and wishing that people knew about their plight
