Ben & Jerry’s isn’t interested in discussing returning any of its land to Native American tribes.
The ice cream company chose to attack America as a country on “stolen” land with an Independence Day Instagram post. The company demanded land be returned to Native Americans.
Well, things took an interesting twist when it was revealed Ben & Jerry’s headquarters in South Burlington, Vermont is on land previously controlled by the Abenaki people, and they want it back.
Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation Chief Don Stevens told Newsweek he’d love to see the land return to its original Native American owners.
Seeing as how it is the stated policy of Ben & Jerry’s that all “stolen” land should be returned, it seems obvious the woke ice cream company would immediately being the process of handing over its headquarters and any and all land across America it has property on that was ever controlled by Native Americans.
Well, it looks like Ben & Jerry’s is more than willing to talk the talk, but it’s different story when it comes time to walk the walk.
I repeatedly reached out to Ben & Jerry’s to ask if there any plans to return the land, and what the timeline was for getting it done.
Not a single request for comment was returned. For a company that was unbelievably vocal about how horrible America is and how land must be returned, it’s gone dead silent now that it’s come time to pony up.
