.
An Indigenous tribe descended from the Native American nation that originally controlled the land in Vermont the Ben & Jerry's headquarters is located on would be interested in taking it back, its chief has said, after the company publicly called for "stolen" lands to be returned.

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.

"The U.S. was founded on stolen Indigenous land," the company said in a statement ahead of Independence Day. "This year, let's commit to returning it."

And then the next question is, who did the Abenaki steal it from and when will they return it.

B&J's called for Mount Rushmore to be returned to the Lakota's - never said anything that involved them. - Open mouth, insert foot - how little history folks know. - I doubt any land is going anywhere - but B&J's will probably introduce a new ice cream flavor - the "Abenaki Ambush" or something at least "Native sounding" ... Besides Fitz, in B&J's world ONLY whites can do anything wrong ... LOL

"Abenaki Ambush" Can't wait to try that one! Wonder if it will be red?

Someone mentioned this to me the other day. I asked her if it was the Abenaki. She didn't know. Next day she asked me, "How'd you know that?" I just smiled. It's good to know shit!
