Do-gooders on a rampage: the case for restoring per capita land values to Native Americans

I dunno, are you also made just a wee bit uneasy by those pre-program apologia land acknowledgements, viz. "We acknowledge we occupy the traditional, unceded lands of the such and such tribe"?

Do you wonder how month after month, year after year such formal posturing can go on, but without a formal action summit on "what to do about it," attended by all the well-intended organizations, groups, and institutions who repeat the mea culpa?

The Commons SF is hosting that summit . . . on a weekly basis . . . and you're invited to attend. To be effective, that summit can't be just another ordinary gather, and it isn't. It's a walking tour surveying San Francisco social movement history. The walk proposes a hypothesis: equality of access to urban, rural, and wild lands is the key to short-circuiting oppressive behaviors.

The pragmatic public policy (John Dewey described it as such) for achieving the greatest diminution in institutional oppressive behaviors is socializing land values. For Native Americans that would mean restoring the whole of the USA's annual land value to all inhabitants of USA North America in the form of funding for public transportation, public health, public education, public XXXXX, etc.

What if, after acknowledging the land as the unceded lands of such and such a tribe, each acknowledging entity followed that remark with a demand for returning that land's value to the people as a whole?
