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.
And going… Thank you for supporting the shareholders and executives of Unilever, the multinational conglomerate that owns @benandjerrys. As you know, its market cap has tanked by $2-billion due to July 4 virtue signaling, so your efforts are appreciated

Why is “Don Stevens” filing suit against Unilever for their “theft” and thus under the theory of magical dirt, “unjust enrichment”?
When do you think the so called indigenous tribes will bring forth a bill of sale from the people who owned the land that they are/were squatting on?
Liars! Manhattan was purchased on the up and up as were many other land areas.

The native occupants thought the Europeans were crazy. Nobody owned the land. You just used the land and and defended your territories from others who wanted to take it over. Those crazy white guys actually wanted to give money to set up shop on land that nobody owned. “Sure. We’ll take the wampum [fools!]”
Their mistake was that they had no idea just how many of those palefaces were over there across the ocean ready to migrate and move in. Far, far more than they ever imagined. By the time they caught on, it was too late.

Much of that probably stemmed from the lack of mathematics. 1-2-3-many, wasn’t it?
Do these idiots even know what they are talking about? Even if it were true, how in practical terms would they bring that about? You cannot reverse history. Its just woke rhetoric. I too will boycott their product but solely because they are too stupid to continue to exist.
Reply True.
But the fear manipulation that can work miracles.the Catawba native Americans outside of Charlotte North Carolina went to court and proved that the federal government had given them the land that Charlotte NC was established on and it was in the treaty and they still had a copy of the treaty. As you may or may not know ;
Charlotte NC paid out $50 million dollars to keep from having to move.
Those poor native tribes in Canada are probably just trying to do the same thing. Yo
Charlotte NC paid $50 million dollars, but the City and surrounding business area is probably worth more than a trillion dollars, so they still bought it for a few wampum bead’s.
The NR article is the point. Stop assuming these people have any kind of coherent claim. It’s Bezmenov 101. Their goal is destabilizing and demoralizing society so it can’t defend itself against a violent revolution. Period. They will say and do anything, no matter how ludicrous, to get there. That’s their real goal. Never forget that.
I take great delight pointing out to the urban tree-huggers who want ME to turn MY farmand into some kind of birds-n-bambi heaven, that the lot THEIR home sits on was once a wetland, forest, or grassland … and they could start the ball rolling and set a wonderful example by demolishing THEIR home and returning it to nature.
Unilever needs to take the lēver and break it off in either of these twos’ cavernous …..
Sell the brand keep the equipment and make “Patriot Ice Cream”
Washington’s Cherry
Jefferson Mocha
Revere Raspberry
Betsy’s Bluberry
Roosevelt Road
Whatever, it would make a fortune.
Maybe. But I’m betting they’d probably try Monica’s Havana and Hunter’s Hoes first.
They offered to return New Jersey but native people said, “nah you can keep that.”
One of the first methods the Communists used to conquer a country was to turn the indigenous people against their rulers, and they have worked diligently to do so for about 80 years.
Not widely known is that USSR agents used to visit our coastal communities as far back as the 1950’s and invite selected Natives to visit the Glorious Soviet Union to see how oppressed the Natives were at home by their capitalist rulers. They probably didn’t show them the gulags.
I only found out about it when my Mother was contracted to teach school in one of those Native communities on the B.C coast in the early 1970’s. Canadian authorities had no idea it was going on, but her brother was with the security service and she passed the info on to them. As this was the Trudeau era not much was done. There was one teacher who had a big shortwave radio transmitter and he boasted to her that he could and did contact home base at will. The teacher was Chinese, hired by DIAND to teach school in remote Native communities.
It’s worked beyond the commies wildest dreams, we have been SO successfully divided I don’t see how we can maintain our sovereignty much longer. Perhaps we’ll do better and China’s version of Puerto Rica.
All hail Emperor Hadrian…… Trudeau.
Unilever is French for “one hand up my ass”.
I wonder if we will see Turdoo virtue signaling by walking out of an ice cream shop licking Ben & Jerry.
“They” need to give up everything that white civilization made possible.
