My foster parent training sessions always start with at least a 5 minute list of acknowledgements as to who's land we knicked that were on, the zoom meetings can have 7 or 8 bands acknowledged and can take 15 minutes now due to the geographic scope of the participants
Personally I always felt that stealing something by force, not giving it back and then thanking the person that you stole it from for 'letting you have it' is just rubbing salt into the wound.
