SOMETIMES IT PAYS TO GET YOUR AWARD AND LEAVE THE STAGE ...
As reported at FOX News, the Tongva tribe in Southern California, a Native American tribe, has responded to singer Billie Eilish's comments declaring "no one is illegal on stolen land" at the Grammy Awards. As it turns out, Eilish herself owned a multimillion-dollar Los Angeles property on what is considered "stolen land" that was historically inhabited by the Tongva people. So the transfer deed will be processed when Miss Eilish? According to reports, Eilish has not contacted the tribe regarding her ownership. Imagine that.
The Tongva tribe in Southern California responded to singer Billie Eilish's comments declaring "no one is illegal on stolen land" at the Grammy Awards Sunday night.
While accepting the Grammy for Song of the Year, the 24-year-old singer drew backlash for using her acceptance speech to attack border enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"No one is illegal on stolen land," Eilish said while wearing an "ICE OUT" pin. "I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter, and the people matter."
Several commentators pointed out that Eilish herself owned a multimillion-dollar Los Angeles property on what is considered "stolen land" that was historically inhabited by the Tongva people, a Native American nation whose territory includes the greater Los Angeles Basin.
The tribe released a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday confirming her home's presence on "ancestral land," adding that Eilish has not contacted the tribe regarding her ownership.
