An indigenous tribe descended from the Native American nation that originally controlled the land in Vermont the Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is located on would be interested in taking it back, its chief has said, after the company publicly called for “stolen” lands to be returned.” Loving this for them.
Something the useful idiots believe in most fervently. Check out their July 4th tweet.
This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it. Learn more and take action now: https://t.co/45smaBmORH pic.twitter.com/a6qp7LXUAE

Chief Don Stevens’ remarks come after the ice cream brand called for the return of ‘stolen indigenous land’ in a July 4th tweet
By Madeline Coggins | Fox News
Ben & Jerry’s has not contacted tribe who previously owned land where headquarters are located, chief says
Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation discusses the irony of Ben & Jerry’s calling for a return of stolen indigenous lands despite having its own headquarters on tribal lands in Vermont.
A Vermont Native American chief is calling on Ben & Jerry’s to make good on their July 4th remarks to return “stolen indigenous land,” arguing the ice cream maker’s headquarters is on land that was previously owned by native nations.
“I have not been in direct communication with Ben and Jerry’s, but I’m always open to any sort of correspondence or communication to figure out the purpose behind the tweet and how we could work together to uplift our community,” Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation said on “Fox & Friends Weekend” Saturday.
The remarks come days after the ice cream maker tweeted on Independence Day that America should return “stolen indigenous land” starting with Mount Rushmore.
The brand wrote in a tweet, “This 4th of July, it’s high time that we recognize the U.S. exists on stolen indigenous land and commit to returning it.”
According to Chief Stevens, however, Ben & Jerry’s call to action could start with the Vermont-based company’s own backyard.
“I think the best way is for Ben & Jerry’s to reach out, contact us as the state-recognized Abenaki tribes in our homeland and where their factories and headquarters sit and have a conversation,” Chief Stevens told co-host Pete Hegseth. “And if they’re willing to work with us and help uplift our people, then I’m there for the conversation.”
There are four state-recognized tribes located in Vermont. He also stated that Ben & Jerry’s company headquarters is located in South Burlington, Vermont, which is on Western Abenaki land.
VERMONT NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF SAYS BEN & JERRY’S HEADQUARTERS ON ‘STOLEN’ LAND“Our way of being is that we are place-based people. And we shared this place with other animals, trees and beings, so we were stewards of the land,” Chief Stevens explained. “So when we say how do we manage those resources and how do we uplift all of the people that are in that place? So Land back is kind of a European term, and I feel that how do we work together to steward the place to be able to uplift all involved.”

and just who did this current tribe steal, or win in war, the land from? Same story wrt the claims about Mt. Rushmore. Human history does not guarantee ownership in perpetuity. But it is funny that it happened to libocrites b&j.

I’m making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning sixteen thousand US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website… http://www.Payathome7.com

Human nature dictates that right will always be on the side might. There are no runners up prizes in war, winner takes all and that has always included territory and even slaves. Warfare is the historical record of our species and the winners write the history books.
You would think people should be used to it by now.

“…how do we work together to steward the place to be able to uplift all involved?”
That really says it all.
If we throw the rulers off our backs, we can all lift each other up. Until then, the rulers will continue to set us against each other and profit from our misery and death.

Israel should not receive 4 billion dollars yearly from the US taxpaying mugs and should be sanctioned until they end their settler colonisation of Palestinian land and return to their 1948 borders and obey international law.

Stop perpetuating the lie that the Americas have indigenous people! ALL human inhabitants here have migrated from somewhere else, so stop with this fraud.
Also, as far a the BJ company is concerned, who would feed this product reported to be contaminated with glyphosate (Roundup) their family anyway?

I love it when some liberal socialists get called for their hipness. B&J’s should now be paying through the nose for rent on that stolen land.

If Ben and Jerry’s wants to virtue signal on the 4th of July they should be ready to back it up. Unless, of course, it is typical of virtue signalling: All talk and no action. Typical lib.

Virtue Signalers do what they do on your behalf. Whatever the issue is they are not included. If there is payment to be made to another party, it’s all on your shoulders. The signalers are showing the virtue that you are not. It’s everyone else that has to remedy whatever injustice the signaler has fabricated.
