Of course, you still go about doing your business on "their" land, but now you have done your little apology and can get on with your day guilt-free.

I have only seen these at professional conferences. It really is amazing to watch because of course we still go on with the conference so it i just a performance to make them feel like they are on the natives' side. If I was in your shoes I would consider leaning into it hard. Start talking about actions the business can take and is morally obligated to, since they are occupying the indigenous land. Maybe talk about paying for some consultants, or relocating so that they aren't on stolen land anymore. Gently point out that the acknowledgement is just words and use statements from native american organizations that say the acknowledgements are not enough.

Isn't it funny that when it comes to Europe the left refuses to admit that Europeans have a right to their land and advocates the end of all borders and the right of all to come as they wish but when it comes to the US it's the opposite?

What sort of faggot country do you live in? Our ancestors fought and beat a backward race of barbarians, in many cases losing their lives. These Indian “land owners” fought, raped and killed to own the land we “took” from them. Now they get all uppity that we did that to them. Maybe the Indians should seek forgiveness from the tribes they genocide? In essence you could go to our ancestors graveyard and shit on their graves, same message.

We do the same thing in Australia, in NSW government jobs anyway. Before most meetings, before sports, any event really.
