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.

Facilitator:
Dr. Cara Wehkamp, Assistant Vice-President (Indigenous Initiatives), U of G
