Ben & Jerry's Held to the Fire over Virtue Signaling, When do the Negotiations Begin?

 

A Native American chief in Vermont has called out Ben & Jerry's for having its headquarters on indigenous land.

 

The ice cream company has been receiving backlash after they tweeted on July 4th calling for the United States to 'return indigenous land'.

 

Now, Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, has told the New York Post that the land the company built their HQ on is on Native land.

 

Stevens said: 'If you look at the [Abenaki] traditional way of being, we are place-based people. Before recognized tribes in the state, we were the ones who were in this place.'

 

Stevens also said he 'looks forward to any kind of correspondence with the brand to see how they can better benefit indigenous people.'
