Billie Eilish‘s observation about federal immigration and “stolen land” at the Grammy Awards show Sunday night raised eyebrows … and now a Native American tribe is reacting to the situation.

FYI, while accepting the Song Of The Year award Billie told the crowd … “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land … F*** ICE.”

A conservative journalist named Eric Daugherty publicized the fact the singer’s house sits on land historically inhabited by the Tongva, the indigenous people of the area including Los Angeles. A spokesperson for the Tongva tribe told the Daily Mail Billie’s home is “situated in our ancestral land” … and said Billie didn’t reach out to the tribe before or after making her statement.

However, the spokesperson added … “We do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country” and said they reached out to Billie to show their appreciation for her public comments.
