    Land acknowledgements devoid of teeth are common, where someone flaccidly admits that Indigenous people exist and have some unspecified connection to the land, not where someone actually states out loud the crimes that put their opera house on that land.

    This was a good acknowledgement that actually implicates the current ruling class. That’s why they cancelled him.

    Edit: he actually went on to say more, but I stand by the fact that this wasnt just a standard acknowledgement.
