How’s this for foolishness:
‘Acknowledgements’
“The Tyee is based in what is commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
“Our team reaches across the province, to the unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples on the traditional territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt nations on Vancouver Island, commonly known as Victoria; the territory of the Gidimt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en in the Interior, in what is commonly known as Smithers; and qathet in the traditional territories of the Tla’amin Nation on the Sunshine Coast, commonly known as Powell River.
“Members of our editorial and business team also extend east, to the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and the Mississaugas of the Credit, in what is commonly known as Toronto, Ontario; and north, to Chief Drygeese territory and the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, commonly known as Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
“We are grateful to work on the territory of these nations, and through The Tyee, to expand knowledge of Indigenous relationships to the land commonly known as Canada.”
So we corrected it:

‘The Toronto Purchase’
“This foolishness {“our traditional lands”} went by with virtually no comment from Canadian historians or our governments; indeed, our governments were complicit in spreading what amounts to an historical lie. This has become commonplace, with Canadian officials constantly thanking the ‘traditional’ landowners, even when — as in this case — their claim is ridiculous…”
