LSU and their *checks notes* land acknowledgement

As a land, sea, and space-grant institution, Louisiana State University and A&M College (LSU) has a responsibility to acknowledge, honor, and affirm Indigenous culture, history, and experiences. LSU is a community of higher learning built upon the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous peoples. At the heart of LSU’s campus are two earthen mounds, architectural remnants created by Native Americans and predating the pyramids in Egypt. These mounds are believed to be the oldest edifices in North America. Built by a people who were egalitarian fisher-hunter-gatherers, the LSU Indian Mounds were built as a place of gathering over the course of 200 years. LSU recognizes the communities native to this region including the Caddo Adai Indians of Louisiana, Biloxi Chitimacha Confederation, Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, Choctaw Nation, Coushatta Tribe, FourWinds Cherokee Tribe, Muscogee (Creek), Point au Chien Tribe, TunicaBiloxi Tribe, United Houma Nation, and others whose memories may have been erased by violence, displacement, migration, and settlement. As a University, we thank them for their strength and resilience as stewards of this land and are committed to creating and maintaining a living and learning environment that embraces individual difference, including the Indigenous peoples of our region.

How dare they do this during Pride Month?

They’re a lot of fun to sled down.

Choctaw Nation
I live in the Choctaw Nation here in Oklahoma. Trust me, white people with their hand wringing care more about it than they do.

New studies show that the super egalitarian, noble savage natives were totally down and even celebratory of sodomy.

The hilarious thing is half of those tribes aren’t even real.
These clowns in particular are grifters that have been trying to gain access to EBCI funds for decades. They’re the Lumbees of Louisiana except white.

They were always the place where I used to slide down on beer box. Now they’re the place where my kids CAN’T slide down on a beer box. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s fricking dirt

(LSU) has a responsibility
So it’s obligatory. Like the ‘80s dad who’s divorcing his bitchy cheating wife “has a responsibility” to pay alimony…

So they're saluting losers.

Legitimately recognized tribes very much care about land ownership and purchasing back as much as they can to be designated tribal on both the state and federal levels.
You’re correct in that they don’t give a shite about some white liberals full of guilt releasing statements like these, though. Most view it as condescending.

Its sad that they won’t recognize that the indigenous peoples actually murdered a whole civilization just to make this land their own, and if we go back further, the original peoples, actually, killed some other people to be here.... what’s sad in the whole lineage of killing and taking; is that at the end of the day we still live in a shithole.

Strangely enough... I was reading a research book on the Natchez tribe a month or so back and it mentioned they had transvestites. When the men went out on long hunts, the transvestites would go with them and "act in the role of women" (the wording is probably not exact).

Save the speeches for Squanto. My kid just wants to roll down those mounds already.

That’s a rather bland and harmless statement considering it came from The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. They are capable of much worse. At least they didn’t include a list of demands and recommendations.
Tiger Stadium is much more impressive, and it’s been a place of gathering for nearly 100 years. Maybe thousands of years from now, there’s some obscure bureaucratic or academic office that will release a statement acknowledging the greatness of Tiger Stadium, as well as all the different cultures and races that gathered in and around the stadium on Saturdays throughout the Fall months.

They still aren't sure what or the purpose of the Indian Mounds. There is a strong theory that they were basically the public dump for a tribes camp. How ironic would it be if we are celebrating a tribal city dump? And I thought we couldn't call them Indians anymore?
