Native Tribe Whose Land Billie Eilish's Mansion Sits on SPEAKS OUT After Her Absurd Grammys Speech
From Megyn Kelly
The Tongva tribe, the indigenous people of the greater Los Angeles basin, has responded to Billie Eilish's Grammys speech in which she highlighted the concept of "stolen land." They expressed appreciation for her comments but emphasized that she has not reached out to them regarding her mansion, which sits on their ancestral land, and called for greater recognition of their territory in discussions about land rights.
