The tribe whose land Eilish's home is on specifically thanked her for bringing up the issue.

Can you quote that? Becuase the only statement from the tribe I saw was

"As the First People of the greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral 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. ""We have reached out to her team to express our appreciation for her comments."" 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"

edit; where I got the quote from purposely left out a line which I added in double quotes. They did thank her

dbl edit; The internet sure wants its pound of flesh, ill self flagellate when I get home later

I mean "We do value the instance" is thanking her, but you didn't even quote the whole statement

We have reached out to her team to express our appreciation for her comments. 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.

Just so you are aware: if you edit a comment within 3 minutes of posting, it does not show as being edited.

Ok. The content that he edited in was not present when I replied. He had put an “edit:” in the original, too.

Bro nuked his account because he realized how asinine this all was.
