| Yes. It's generally well intentioned, and hopefully serves at least to bring some momentary attention to the Native tribes of the area, and the history, but it always comes off as extremely virtue-signaling and tone deaf and pointless. Also, I'm sorry but just about all land occupied by anyone today was stolen from native peoples hundreds and/or thousands of years ago, the Europeans who came here are by no means the first or the inventors of this idea - as ugly a historical reality as it is, it seems like an odd gesture to make. Are the theater owners donating a portion of sales, no matter how small it might be, to the native communities to help off-set the damage done in the proceeding several hundred years since the land was stolen so that eventually the theater building could sit there and the patrons of the theater could attend? I'm sure they're not, or we would hear about it often. |
