I came across news that a startup I had never heard about failed and became insolvent. I went to its "About Us" page and there I see this:
And? Are you gonna do anything about that?
Is this a Canadian thing?

I kind of like land acknowledgments, because they raise the contradictions of colonialism. Landback is the goal, but I think acknowledgements are an essential stepping stone.
They are potentially completely useless, but do open up the opportunity to talk about colonialism if you have the knowledge, and pass a persuasion check.
I think they do more than just present an opportunity to talk - they present an opportunity for people to think about colonialism, when normally it flies under the radar completely. That's important too. Though we definitely have to take advantage of the opportunity to push their thinking further, towards more radical directions like landback and indigenous liberation struggle.
