Acknowledging Indigenous Lands
Date and Time
Location
In-person, location to be shared closer to the date.
Details
Land acknowledgements have become common practice in higher education however many questions have been raised about their intention, accuracy and usefulness. Are you interested in developing a personal practice to meaningfully acknowledge the land and its relations?
Participants in this session will:
- Gain an understanding of the intention and meaning behind why land acknowledgements are shared;
- Explore how to identify the lands and territories on which they reside, work and study; and
- Reflect on their relationship to land, positionality and role in reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and lands.
Participants are encouraged to bring an example of a land acknowledgement they have used or heard in the past or one that they are working on.
