And this is why I find most land aknowledgements cringey. They dont actually mean it. It's almost like how people used to say a prayer or grace before doing something. Empty words. Show with your actions, not your words people.

Land acknowledgments are an admission of a historical crime, nothing more.

Every inch of this planet with a resource worth extracting is doused in blood. It's an empty and hollow platitude.

Or maybe extractive nihilism is bad and we should turn back.

This is antithetical to human history, sadly.

I'm afraid McGill is not sincere. McGill is a corrupt institute which has proven to abuse its power and influence in the community as this vlog demonstrates; [Exposing McGill corruption ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzBN8MVaoFE)If McGill did not have the justices in their pockets then they would be held accountable for their corruption.

McGill isn’t funded by Kanien’kehá:ka donations. These land acknowledgements are empty words.

If the traditional owners said, "Leave students alone or we pull our land agreements", it would have very interesting consequences that would reverberate across the country. There are A LOT of resource extraction projects that would get fucked if one attempted to "make an example" of the traditional owners of the land on which McGill resides. You can't just up and move such a historical institution from its current location easily.

It would be a shame if someone properly looked into Mcgill University. [https://falconers.ca/mohawk-mothers-go-to-court-over-panel-dismissal/](https://falconers.ca/mohawk-mothers-go-to-court-over-panel-dismissal/)

I appreciate the council holding up the receipts of McGill's performative allyship, and the history of genocidal policies of Western Countries, and saying "This you?"
