Additional Resource for Land Acknowledgement
Native-Land.ca | Our home on native land
Mission: Native Land Digital strives to create and foster conversations about the history of colonialism, Indigenous ways of knowing and settler-Indigenous relations, through educational resources such as our map and Territory Acknowledgement Guide. We strive to go beyond old ways of talking about Indigenous people and to develop a platform where Indigenous communities can represent themselves and their histories on their own terms. In doing so, Native Land Digital creates spaces where non-Indigenous people can be invited and challenged to learn more about the lands they inhabit, the history of those lands, and how to actively be part of a better future going forward together.
Watch the land acknowledgment offered by Michelle Armster. (Length: 3 minutes – Link)
