California is looking to return over 7 million acres of coastal land to indigenous tribes that libs say it was “stolen” from. Not included: the coastal land and house that the most famous land-thief in the Golden State admitted she possesses on national TV.
According to a report in theNew York Postthis week, California announced it was “returning stewardship of a staggering 7.5 million acres of land and coastal waters to Native tribes” — about 7 percent of the state’s total land area — based on a treaty that was signed 175 years ago and was never enforced.
“When California became a state in 1850, officials signed 18 treaties setting aside millions of acres for tribal reservations,” the New York Post noted. “Congress killed the deals in secret after pressure from state leaders. Many tribes had already moved, trusting the promises.”
Well, unless there are some awfully old Natives, they’re pretty much gone now, making this meaningless to the people who should have benefited from the federal government’s promises and a nuisance to current Californians thanks to the state government’s wokeness.
There aresomepluses to this plan to allow Native tribes to reclaim and co-manage spaces. For instance, tribes can now carry out controlled burns of foliage — verboten, mostly, in California, which is why wildfires there spread like, well, wildfire. (Look, if writers in the Hollywood-centric corner of that state can get away with thesort of laziness they do, I can get away with it when writing about their state, as well. Fair’s fair.)
Also a plus: We get one more chance todunk on land-thief Billie Eilish.
In case you don’t know who she is, Eilish is a new-ish musician who’s repurposed Depeche Mode’s mopeyness for the algorithm-pop generation, all without repurposing their talent.
Anyhow, Eilish won an award for one of her lesser songs during this year’s Grammys, which led to this eminently mockable speech.
“No one is illegal on stolen land. It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now,” she said. “I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting, and speaking up, and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter, and f*** ICE is all I want to say, sorry.”
