“The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land. This year, let’s commit to returning it,” the company’s post read.

Ice cream powerhouse Ben & Jerry’s blew up the internet on the Fourth of July with a social media post that many critics claimed was contradictory and unpatriotic.

On the morning of July 4, Ben & Jerry’s recognized the holiday with a tweet.

Ben & Jerry‘s is facing calls for a boycott after the ice cream giant called on July 4 for the U.S. to return land to Native Americans.

The company said the U.S. should start by returning Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills to the Lakota Sioux tribe. 

In its Independence Day message, the company said the federal holiday ignores some hard realities.

Vermont-based ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s in a Fourth of July statement called for the return of “stolen Indigenous land” starting with Mount Rushmore.

“This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” Ben & Jerry’s said on its Twitter page Tuesday.
