Sustainable anarchist 'communities'

It looks like starting around Jan 16th some of the terms around
https://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=Global_Village_Construction_Kit
started clashing.

Somebody may have seen the phrase "appropriate" and been concerned it would
produce conflict with American Indians, for whom I've heard "cultural
appropriation" can mean the use of concepts taken from their tribes without
honoring past agreements.

Maybe reading and referencing
https://native-land.ca/territory-acknowledgement/ from the page with a
removal of the deletion request could help.
