Some indigenous people believe land acknowledgements are a good 1st step. Some believe they are a waste of time. But the 2nd group don't claim the 1st group don't exist.
Voluntary land tax programs exist.[1] They seem to benefit from land acknowledgements.

- Turing_Machine 3y agoIt doesn't matter what they "believe". They get little or no tangible benefit from someone posting that bullshit (and it is bullshit) on their Facebook or Twitter profile. > Voluntary land tax programs exist. I'm not seeing any actual dollar figures there, nor in any of the linked examples, except the Duwamish site which mentions some guy paying $18/month. The mean rent for a one bedroom apartment in Seattle is around $2,000/month. Paying a token amount like that doesn't make it any less virtue-signaling.
