I always find the land acknowledgements to be unnecessary and tedious. I find this one to be even more so. One of the women was being interviewed about a conflict which is ostensibly about land, although it is about several things which are much deeper, and she felt the need to state that Los Angeles belongs to a people whose name I couldn't quite catch since she was wearing a mask outside. If it's truly the case that Los Angeles belongs to some other civilization, she should leave. The indigenous people she mentioned might do a better job of running Los Angeles anyway. She should voluntarily begin a backward migration through her family's timeline to her ancestral point of origin. Although, I imagine she may not actually like the place she finds herself. We should be encouraging young people to find ways to be grateful for what they have and the opportunities they have around them instead of constantly villainizing the very culture which affords them the right to do so.
