We would like to acknowledge a long list of conquering tribes that forcibly dispossessed this land's from its prior inhabitants. Except the original peoples (who dispossessed wildlife) as their descendants are all dead now so who cares.

This is possibly the most cringe thing I have ever seen in corporate America. It's like (nay is) a cult - it's creepy.
No one doubts past injustices occur. But feeling the necessity to add this preamble to a corporate presentation is just totally messed up.
And clothing - WTF?

Are we going to get to the point that before you can say anything of substance relevant to the issue at hand, you need to give a 10 minute speech on all the social justice ills of the world & disadvantages minority communities merely to avoid the appearance of being racist?
We might as well pay a mandatory ode to the great leader while we are at it. The worst thing about this is its obvious inauthenticity and insincerity. It's all for show. And acknowledging injustices in the distant past does absolutely nothing to help anyone in the present.
They could add, now that we have that out of the way, let's get down to talking about how we can be maximally rapacious capitalists, leverage our monopoly pricing power without restraint, and crank out >US$50bn FCF to make our rich privileged owners even richer... FFS
If you feel so strongly about the injustice, why don't you donate your corporate head office & the land it sits on back to the said dispossessed peoples?
Oh no, that's out of the question of course. Lip service is much cheaper.
