A respected tribal leader from Vermont's Native American community has expressed willingness to negotiate with renowned ice cream manufacturer, Ben & Jerry's, about reclaiming the territory currently occupied by their central office.

Don Stevens, who stands as chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, shared his thoughts with the New York Post. He stated, 'I am eager to open lines of communication with Ben & Jerry's to discuss potential avenues through which they can contribute more significantly to the welfare of indigenous communities'.

It is important to note that the headquarters of Ben & Jerry's, located in South Burlington, Vermont, is historically recognized as the land of the Western Abenaki.

Stevens' comments come in the wake of a controversial tweet published by Ben & Jerry's on the Independence Day of the United States. In the message, the ice cream company expressed the sentiment that America ought to return 'unlawfully taken indigenous land'.
