Really struck by the demands Raven Payment stated in the speech she gave when asked to do a 'land acknowledgment' at the Denver No Kings protest:
Here is what I demand and what I expect from every person who says they mean change. First, return land where possible and co-manage what cannot be returned. Sacred sites are not decoration in a brochure. They are living obligations. Second, stop granting permits to projects that destroy water, soil and air especially when Indigenous people object. Third, take away the police budgets that criminalize survival and put that money into housing, community health and substance treatment. Fourth, fund reparations and buyback programs that actually put resources back where they were stolen. Fifth, force honest history into classrooms and expunge the lies that make genocide digestible.
I think there's a lot we could discuss about how to achieve land back and justice for Indigenous people generally but I found this to be a very concise and accessible starting place.
