'Ben & Jerry's' say the U.S. was founded on stolen indigenous land, and it's time to give it back

[22lcidw]

"Ben and Jerry" are like many Americans promoting the wrongs according to their so-called beliefs. They live like kings while lamenting the suffering of the people they are standing on to give them their great lives. they take no responsibility as they wash their hands of it and push it on others.

Indigenous Chief Wants To Take Back Ben & Jerry's HQ Built on 'Stolen' Land​

Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation—one of four descended from the Abenaki that are recognized in Vermont—told Newsweek it was "always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands," but that the company had yet to approach them.

It comes after the ice cream company was questioned as to when it would give up its Burlington, Vermont, headquarters—which sits on a vast swathe of U.S. territory that was under the auspices of the Abenaki people before colonization.

Indigenous tribes fight over who should get ‘compensation’ from Ben & Jerry’s​

Indigenous tribes on both sides of the US-Canada border are squabbling over who is entitled to compensation from Ben & Jerry’s over its Vermont headquarters — which some claim sits on stolen land.

Chief Rick O’Bomsawin of the Quebec-based Abenaki Bank Council of Odanak told The Post that if Ben & Jerry’s plans to return land to Indigenous tribes, it should be his group that receives it.

“This is my territory,” the Canada-based chief told The Post on Friday. “The territory that they’re speaking of is actually my people’s territory. That territory is our homeland.”
