Land O'Lakes corporate headquarters is located in Arden Hills, Minnesota, just minutes outside of both Minneapolis and St. Paul. However, for years I thought is was Land O'Lakes, Florida. I live in Pasco County.

The Land O'Lakes girl was painted by Patrick DesJarlait, a member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. He also designed the Hamms Beer bear. His personal non-commercial art was cubism inspired and focused on highlighting Native American industry, depicting fishermen, farmers, weavers, etc

I use this butter. It is awesome
DougTheLlama
I use it for baking. Day to day I use whatever's on sale
HelloThere1812
As opposed to literally any other butter? What makes it different?
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
I use butter for a lot of stovetop cooking and Land-O-Lakes is the best for not just burning off in the skillet, almost like a fake butter but it's actually the real deal. Other butters may *taste* better, but if they fuck off halfway through the cook they're not doing me much good. So fancy Irish butters for when I want to taste butter, like spreading on toast, and cheaper L-O-L for cooking.

Compared to the generic wal mart brand butter, literally nothing. The product is produced exactly the same and the assembly line only verges at the end for different packaging. (From a previous land o lakes employee)

I'm sure it's the butter that was used in Last Tango in Paris.

It has a very fine butter taste. It spreads pretty easy. It's pretty not high priced

Fun fact: the Land-O-Lakes butter and the generic Wal Mart brand butter literally come off the same assembly line and only verge at the end for different packaging. (From a land o lakes employee)

NekoKamiGuru
Do you want to know the complicated part , indigenous status is granted based on tribal membership and cultural affiliation, not genetics. So someone who is 1/32 indigenous can be indigenous if they have tribal elders sign off on it , but someone who is 1/4 indigenous is not indigenous if no tribal body will acknowledge them due to their grandparent refusing to acknowledge paternity of their parent. or the grandparent being disgraced and exiled.
Yupurineutah
Weird. It's almost as if genocide and colonization by design destroys culture to establish and maintain capitalism.
doesntmatter
Nationality is not based on genetics but participation. An American of 1/4 Swedish descent will be less Swedish than a 1/32 Swede whose parents moved to Sweden, or many people who completely lack ethnical Swedish ancestry but integrate and become part of the nation. Thinking that it's primarily about genetics is pure racism.
Yupurineutah
WTF? I'm an American of 100% Dutch descent whose parents moved to America. That was by choice. The Kalapuya, among so many other nations, didn't get the choice to integrate and become part of the "nation". And to this very day are not fully accepted as part of it because of genetics and pure racism.
NekoKamiGuru
The absurdity kicks in when the person who is genetically 1/4 indigenous is required to attend mandatory racial sensitivity training course at their college delivered by the person who is 1/32 indigenous and learn about how to overcome their white privlige.
This is manifestly unjust.

I mean to be fair, Native Americans didn't have dairy so they appropriated the imagery to begin with.
Yupurineutah
This. I think the original image invokes a "squaw" cheerfully hunching over a butter churn. Apparently the First Peoples and many other peoples cannot digest dairy in adulthood.

I like how they were called racist for removing the racist logo. If there's anything a Democrat hates it's a Democrat who isn't Democrat enough.

It wasn't a racist logo. Depicting native Americans in a respectful manner isn't racist. It was removed because of white hysteria, not because of criticism from the nation depicted.

Don't forget about Hawaii. We did the queen so dirty. She tried to keep their sovereignty by working with the American government. Now a bunch of rich people own the Oceanside real estate with most of the indigenous descendants financially struggling and pushed inland. And any number of other "territories" such as Guam, whose people fight our wars without the benefits given to our soldiers.
LjubljanaJeNajlepseMestoNaSvetu
Such a wonderfull country this united states is /a
MrReallyObvious
Hawaii was going to get taken over by someone because of their strategic location and inability to prevent it. It would have been much worse if Japan had invaded them. We at least let them keep some of their culture and didnât kill all of them.
Overland671
Preach!! As a native of Guahan thank you. We are never recognized and still colonized
blainetog
Hawaii also recently struck down the second amendment because it violated the Spirit of Aloha. That's obviously not going to survive challenges, but it means we're also responsible for every shooting death on the islands. Those guns wouldn't be there if not for MURICA.
TheYoungBear
I mean yes and no, Kamehameha bought guns and cannons from European traders to gain control of the islands creating the Kingdom of Hawaii
VaultGirl69
Good. I'm sick of hearing about daily school shootings on the mainland. We have failed to be a decent country, even in regards to our own citizens.
GetlnLoserWereGonnaOffendEveryone
The spirit of aloha might be a contributing factor as to why theyâre a conquered nation. :(
TinyVanLife
You should read up on history, because that ainât it. The real answer has more to do with capitalism and overwhelming military power against a tiny island nation. You can google âHawaii annexation illegalâ for more info.

Which is why they removed the woman, it was offensive

That occurred to me as well. Hopefully they will have enough insight to change the entire label to something less obvious that they only removed the native.

They removed the woman but kept her land. Thats even more offensive.

It wasn't racist. It was created by an indigenous artist and is in no way comparable to other tasteless depictions like the Redskins or anything like that. The "food mascot panic" basically removed all diversity from store shelves and put nothing in its place. But white people are fine, we've still got Orville Redenbacher...

"Red Lake Ojibwe artist Patrick DesJarlait updated Mia's image in the 1950s. Her clothes were changed to match specific Ojibwe styles, and the background became a specific location in the Ojibwe territory, the Red Lake in Minnesota."-Wikipedia

Hold up on the Redskins logo:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/dec/07/a-native-american-designed-washingtons-logo-now-his-family-want-it-back
The logo was a composite of portraits of a Blackfeet chief named White Calf (who was marketed to wealthy tourists of Glacier National Park as Two Guns White Calf). Blackie considered the logo a sort of âunification symbolâ among Native Americans.

Ojibwe. And an Ojibwe artist drew it originally. I'm fine with it being gone obviously, but I don't think this depiction is the same as some others we've seen disappear. (Aunt Jemima...)

As a Native American seeing the "Land O Lakes" Indian woman on your butter package made my family and myself feel sense of pride and loved by your company. Showing Native Americans on such a simple and wholesome product as American Butter made us feel "honored" as a guest in everyone's home. The new package looks blank and lifeless. Instead of reminding us that Native Americans are honored at everyoneâs dinner table, the blank container reminds us of the "erasure" 1/2

Samja192
Doesn't matter the country, reparations to a native population always seems to be a tricky conversation. For the oppressors anyway.
eetsumkaus
Because the people the reparations should go to (and from, for that matter) are no longer here. Many of their descendants are also mixed with the "oppressors". The most equitable way to do it is just factor in their background when figuring out wealth transfers.
Samja192
I get what you are saying. But in Australia the fact that their decendants are now mixed with their oppressors was actually part of their oppression - the whites literally had a policy to "breed out the black" which included a great deal of rape and "the stolen generations". Besides, the successors to those that did the crimes have been profiting off that wealth for generations so hard to say they are no longer here when the material wealth is so easily traceable
xlr82xs
Problem is, it won't be the people who profited who pay, it'll be the average tax payer whose ancestors came to live slightly less shit lives than they had back home, or got deported, or fled world war 2 and got sent here by the red cross. People whose ancestors got rich by oppressing people are still rich enough that consequences don't exist for them.
Ploty
Australië, New Zealand, Brazil, Israël the same fucking story. Consume the resources, exploit the people and spit them out.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
That wouldn't even be the next big step. The next big step would be to finally leave them alone on what tiny bits of land they still have and and not take any more every time someone wants to build a pipeline. Before paying reparations, first stopping to accumulate reasons for why reparations are deserved. That would already be huge.
hetnkik999
I always vote for whatever casino laws the natives want to go through so I hope I'm helping.
drezrale
It doesn't help that much, Yes it gives them money but there are huge problems on the reservation with the addiction to gambling and a lot of these people stay really broke because they're constantly gambling and losing everything. I've lived on these reservations before and they can get really bad to the point when you're bringing a little bit of money it is a high likeliness you'll get robbed, Even if you remember of the tribe.
QotU
Our local tribeâs casino is so successful they bought one of the Vegas casinos. That takes serious money. And everyone in the tribe gets a UBI of something like $3k. I sincerely wish this kind of success could be even across tribes.
meskarune
I think a good start is upholding the treaty the us keeps breaking
KaptainObveeus
The removal of the native woman was apparently because the image itself was racist and the natives wanted her gone.
Margrave9000
There's the catch. It doesn't make them removing it non-racist. The only proper course is to get educated on the matter and implement effective reparations to the members of the Native community.
yifin
I had a daydream a while back where they had artists from various tribes do art for the boxes and they rotated the art
Margrave9000
A better daydream would be to have the corporation(and the profits extracted over the past 3 generations, with interests) handed over to the Natives and the employees and get rid of the WASP capitalist cishet males that own it.
doesntmatter
Like the person who did that design of the logo originally, you mean? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_DesJarlait. You can't do that. White people think it's racist if it depicts native Americans.
KaptainObveeus
If someone takes a step in the right direction we want to encourage that not shit on them for it
Margrave9000
Tiny steps 'in the right direction' without reaching the actual right policies are worse than worthless. Their purpose is to neutralize the pressure to change without changing and prolong the capitalistic, imperialist ice, racist, exploitative, unjust status quo.
cccampbell79
When does it end though? How far back can we ask for reparations for something no one alive today had anything to do with? I have a larger than average amount of Neanderthal DNA. Can I get some reparations up in here? đ€·ââïž
TheWombatStrikesAgain
At least a few generations after the last major injustice, I'd say. And since most countries with an indigenous populations are still committing injustices against them...
LoneOrtolan
The last residential school (a place where they forcibly took First Nations children to "re-educate" them in the ways of the colonizer) closed in 1996. Why don't you take your racist opinion and shove it up your average white man from Mississippi ass? You PERSONALLY were likely alive, if not your IMMEDIATE FAMILY, you ignorant fuck-knuckle. You do realize the place in which you LIVE is a First Nations word that you assholes misspelled when your ancestors were killing the inhabitants, right?
donutposse11337
You tell em. The idea that people today have ânothing to do withâ injustices to various populations is ludicrous. For christs sake. If you eat at McDonaldâs that uses slave labor, youâre still part of slavery. The fact that âitâs ok because the workers âdid crimesââ is idiotic when it is a crime to be non-white in most parts of the US.
zeusdemigod131
I mean... aren't we kinda seeing that with the attitude shift towards Israel? A not insignificant amount of people I've seen say they have no right to the land but Israel did used to be a place and it's destruction is what led to the Jewish diaspora
DukePhelan
Then like the natives they should have fought harder. They lost, they should have gotten over it and move on like people always have.
LoneOrtolan
Sorry, just want to be clear here:
Are you saying that you're ok with someone stronger than someone else just taking what they want without repercussions?
Or are you saying that it's OK to trick the less fortunate into moving from their generationally inherited property, relocating them by force if they refuse?
Or are you saying that a contract formed under false pretenses is legally binding?
BECAUSE. ALL. OF. THAT. HAPPENED. TO. THE. NATIVE. AMERICANS.

I am saying that throughout human history the strong have taken from the weak. That the native Americans are still even around to complain about their past treatment is the exception not the rule. The people of today still alive are owed nothing for whatever happened to their ancestors.

If anything, the natives should have a share of the profit from pumping the oil through their territory, at the very least. More than that they should be given actually farmable/usable land and significant government support.

Of course you did learn from the atrocities and genocides: they are effective and no one cares about minorities.
awkwardbeautiful
Yes people do care about minorities. Imperialists, capitalists, and those in power do not. But many millions of us regular ppl do care about them.
hollenqual
So, why is there still oppresion? If you care about minonities, go riot whenever minorities are oppresed, and fight for their basic rights. Otherwise saying: "I care about minorities, so I always post on the internet how furious I am about their situatuon." Are just meaningless words.
