I definitely feel like saying that the principles behind land acknowledgements are ethnonationalism feels like a strawman or at least not clearly substantiated. Feels like he's saying "we need to remember America's history of violent conquest, but saying that you live on stolen land is taking that too far".
Definitely feels weird to me that this guy seems to think that the (largely empty) symbolic gesture of land acknowledgments is based in ethnonationalism but not the Squamish Nation literally being immune to laws that apply to everyone else in Vancouver based on organization membership tied to ethnicity. *shrug*
