The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish's multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should "explicitly" reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal.

The Tongva tribe confirmed the "Bad Guy" singer's $3 million home does sit on its "ancestral land," after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that "no one is illegal on stolen land."

The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the "First Angelenos," said they appreciate Eilish's sentiment, but noted that the performer hasn't contacted them directly — and insisted that next time, she explicitly reference them.

"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," a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

"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," the spokesperson added.

fork found in kitchen

Also the article makes no sense. She did not say No one is illegal in LA. She meant the country so why would a specific tribe expect a shout out? This was obviously a paid article

Is the statement from the tribe false?

Really uninteresting how most of us are not in agreeance with this narrative and are supporting Billie's activism, but yall continue to pretend it's a problem with the fanbase and not a select few individuals. (is the OP even a Swiftie? )

well maybe she should move I guess

didn't know about her house on stolen land

hope she takes them up on their offer

"bUt tHE sOuRcE"

if the ACTUAL tribe is speaking on what she said what difference does it make where it's reported from

If nobody is illegal on stolen land, doesn't that mean colonizers are welcome too?

Ya'll only care about these issues when it benefits you in a stan war. Why does an artist speaking out against fascism trigger so many swifties? Ya'll talk about virtue singling but that's exactly what you're doing. Also:

just because they use billie to drag taylor they think everyone who criticizes billie is a swiftie

…we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,…

"drags"? There's no "drag" anywhere in the OP lmfao, what's going on with Swifties' Billie obsession

Might as well kick everyone out of America and give Sacagawea her land back

Interesting, never seen them in the base or album thread but I guess I can't know everybody. The Swifties I've seen in these Billie threads have all denounced any right wing propaganda, and are rallying behind Billie and against ICE. So stop trying to further the divide when we are all on the same side here

OT: the nuance here can't really be disregarded, the native tribe does have a right to be heard and respected, but Billie's sentiments remain true and anyone trying to amplify dissent is stoking division for the cause.

Oh swifities give up

Ya'll didn't even read the article and went with the headline...

Tbh her words sound more like defending stealing lands from others and even ICE in some degree if you take it literally

Likely thing for a privileged American home-school girl to say tho
