I can say with confidence I would be relieved to not receive this invitation.

On the real, are they really just going to spell tribe names with random Greek letters and numbers and pretend that’s totally normal?

The whole land acknowledgment thing has always felt like mocking to me. Because really if you're not taking steps to give that land back all you're saying is "Yes, we are on your land. And?"

If I took someone's phone, threw it in the ocean then said "Oh, I'm sooo sorry. Did I just throw your phone into the ocean?" but didn't then buy them a new phone, they'd be justified in feeling pissed off both at what I did and how I reacted to it.

It’s silly and performative. I mean, if they want to give tribal lands back, there’s nothing stopping them from sighing their house or condo over to the appropriate tribe.

The whole thing irks me because it’s either pure virtue signaling or advocating for the destruction of every single North and South American country. The former is useless and the latter is crazy.

To be completely fair - these are the original language transcriptions of their names using a phonetic spelling system (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamish_language), as opposed to the Anglicized versions afterwards and that we are more familiar with. There's a lot of stupidity about the land acknowledgement thing, but this isn't one of them. A comparison would be calling Russia "Россия" instead of "Russia".

This means it's ok to violently attack people at the event while wearing masks, call them slurs, and threaten to rape/kill them for excluding LGB? Or is that only acceptable when it's an LGB event that's not focused on the TQ+? Just trying to figure out what the standards are here.

Cool, they're starting to get the right idea!

Good luck organizing an LGB event.

Not sure how you got that from my comment. Good luck to you too?

Oh my god, a party that sounds like absolute hell on earth, but it would be fun to lurk nearby and watch the show.

How ironic that the native American twospirit concept is totally made up.

BC is the epicenter of the genderwoo nonsense in Canada.
