"A Land Acknowledgement is our opportunity to demonstrate our profound respect and understanding of the region we are currently in. It’s the time when we stop to honour the Land and Water’s hard work to sustain life and the role that Indigenous Peoples have played in supporting, protecting and stewarding the Land and Water."
In this episode of the Go Smudge Yourself Podcast, Jen Green discusses Land Acknowledgements, what they are, why they’re important, and how to do one. She teaches the approach to Land Acknowledgements that take them from a token or checkmark on your ally sheet to an expression of true gratitude and reflection.
