And uh, that's all because of you. All right, 29 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: let's get to it. 30 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: The Michael Berry Show. 31 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: It's been a few days now, and I didn't I 32 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: held these this this back because I wanted to. I 33 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: wanted to share it. Democrats held their summer meeting and 34 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: it went exactly as you would expect it to go. 35 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: They started with a land acknowledgment. Now I know you 36 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: might not know what that means, but I want to 37 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: make clear what this is before they can hold their 38 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: meeting in Mogadishu Minneapolis. They had the first uh give 39 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: give thanks to the gods of Indigenous people that we 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: don't we don't own this land. We stole this land. 41 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Where we are right now, we're on stolen land. We 42 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: want to make sure we know that. 43 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: Fuju Lindy somic and indigital cause amic doodum uh sag 44 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: Dojaba and a shnabe. 45 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: Quay and dow. 46 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: Good morning, DNC members, friends and relatives. Let's talk about 47 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: the land for a second. The DNC acknowledges and honors 48 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 3: the Dakota Oyata, the Dakota people who are the original 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis. The Dakota 50 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: cared for the lands, lakes in the Wakpatanka, the Great River, 51 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: the Mississippi River for thousands of years before colonization. This 52 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 3: land was not claimed or traded. It's a part of 53 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: a history of broken treaties and promises, and in many 54 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: ways we still live in a system built to suppress 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: Indigenous people's cultural and spiritual history. As democrats, I ask 56 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: of every one of you to not allow land acknowledgements 57 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: like these to simply be the checking of a box. 58 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: Be curious, ask questions, ensure our neighbor Native neighbors are heard, 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: and work in partnership with your indigenous communities. Honor the 60 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: legacy of this land and its people by engaging today 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: with each other with honesty, humility, respect and compassion. Uh 62 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: Jimmy gwtch and thank you so much. 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: This whole idea of land acknowledgment is absurd. This is 64 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: the white man's guilt. Oh uh, we're sorry that we've 65 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: built the greatest country in the history of mankind. Let's 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: tell all the people from the craphole countries who've come 67 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: here that we're sorry that we fought the Indians, which 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: is what the Indians did to other Indians. Yeah, we're 69 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: sorry that we vanquished them. We're sorry that we were successful. 70 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: We would rather live in the society that they would 71 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: have brought to us. And what do you think that 72 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: would look like. There's this idea that the that the 73 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: Indigenous people were pure, pure. There were savages, they were 74 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: cruel and vicious and by the way, not very technically advanced. 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Oh but they're the pure people, the back to nature, 76 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: all your Granola Colorado people.
