Lewis & Clark College purposefully reflects on the history of the land it occupies. Prior to the newcomers arriving in this area, the indigenous land of what would later be called Multnomah County was home to many tribal people. We honor the indigenous people on whose traditional and ancestral homelands we stand: the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, and Watalala bands of the Chinook; the Tualatin Kalapuya; and many other indigenous nations of the Columbia River.
It is important to acknowledge the ancestors of this place and recognize that we are here because of the sacrifices forced upon them. In remembering these communities, we honor their legacy, their lives, and their descendants.
An indigenous land acknowledgment for the indigenous peoples of London, who now have Muslim Pakistani grooming gangs forced upon them.
We need to recognize the knife crime foisted on the indigenous peoples of the UK. We need to recognize the sacrifices forced on the people of Europe, and honor their legacy, their lives and their descendants.
I'll include a fab bottle of red to go with that steak dinner! My heart was breaking during my last trip to London. I didn't recognize any of it - or the people.
I haven't been to London since I was a kid when we would regularly visit my remaining relatives in the North of Ireland. I don't intend to ever go back now. My memory was an English England. I'll keep it that way.
What's particularly amusing about that land acknowledgement example is that it is basically a timeline of successive groups conquering each other for control of the land.
I suspect the Chinook didn't do land acknowledgements.
Land acknowledgement in 2nd place for most irritating virtue signal after pronouns display. They did this all the time where I used to work. It's like, for 364 days and 23 hours and 59 minutes the rest of the year, you give absolutely zero fucks about the esselen and ohlone. But for the one minute it takes you to set up your soc media profile or email signature? Oh, you CARE. I SEE and am now so SHAMED by how much you CARE.
LOL, part about their contributions to 'the world'. How special. It's all so infantilizing. You too, you four-foot tall sluggard with agoraphobia, can be an NBA star.
Don't worry, she probably performs a land acknowledgement every day when she wakes up. It'll look very similar to this Portland school:

I’m going to start doing this publicly.

I wish I could buy you a steak dinner for that one.
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY IS EUROPEAN HISTORY DAY! IN EVERY WAY!
I wish you could too!

If history is any guide, it went something like "Thanks for the land, losers!"
"Nice wife. Mine now. And your kids will make great fertilizer. "

Asshats, all of them.
Some places play pre-recorded YouTube videos. Such an honor.

My first thought with all of these is "very nice, but are you going to give it BACK? Then shut up."
Exactly. Like the meme of that latte drinker complaining about capitalism.
