The Tongva tribe, the Indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin known as the “First Angelenos,” had a message of their own for Eilish — whose multimillion-dollar mansion sits on their “ancestral land.”
The tribe revealed that the “Birds of a Feather” singer should “explicitly” reference them when speaking about “stolen land.”
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property. We do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
“It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson added.

Yes, keep that infighting. That’s exactly what they want. We are all chewing each other’s heads off that we can’t see what they are doing to us until it’s too late.

Hmm, they don’t have a problem with it they just want the recognition that it’s their stolen land. Apparently the Tongva owned the greater Las Angeles Basin.

This reads a lot more like a marginalized group using current events to draw attention to their cause than them trying to directly criticize her, but I’m sure people who disagree with her will use it to make a bad-faith argument against her core message.

These discussions are a race to the bottom, every time. Nothing constructive comes of this.
