I don’t think this is crazy. I’ve been dealing with some of the downstream effects of this in trying to teach finance to primarily white classrooms that include several indigenous students. It’s a tough balancing act — How do I teach about debt when they can’t even utilize their land asset as collateral? How do I teach about 401ks and IRAs when the implication of their usage of these tax-advantaged investment vehicles would constitute their participation in a capitalist system built on the violent acquisition of their land?
I admit that at face value, finance is not the same as mathematics, in that we intuit latter as fundamental in a way that the former isn’t. But from my experience, tribal communities are so not oriented towards speculative, extractive finance that I don’t think a culturally relevant review of mathematics feels “unnecessarily woke.” Quite the contrary.

I'm a fan of the "keep changing the acronym so conservatives don't know what they're fighting" strategy, but was it wise to use the same acronym as Improvised Explosive Device?

You guys are good at reading
Time spent reading words posted by Bi rarely pays off in any meaningful way.
