Like, if I move out of my apartment, the next tenant is supposed to invite me over every week and thank me for living there before?
Maybe in Australia it's more straight forward, but in Canada any given piece of land had changed hands dozens or even hundreds of times before Europeans arrived. Who's the traditional owner? All of them?
The worst part is, the SJWs don't even bother to learn the history of the place. For example, in southern Ontario everyone "acknowledges" the Mississauga tribe but they hadn't even occupied the land for 80 years. Before them, the Huron fought the Iroquois and were driven north, at which point the Iroquios went south and left the land empty and the Mississauga sort of wandered in.
After the American Revolution, the British bought the land from them to give it to their Iroquois allies who had lost their "traditional" land to the Americans (monstrous, I know).
So yes, thank you Mississaugas for squatting on empty land and getting paid for it (instead of being driven off, like any other native tribe would have done), we will sing of your exploits at every official ceremony until our country dies of fart inhalation.
WTF is a "traditional owner" anyway?
