Land Acknowledgement
Land acknowledgments offer a commitment to understanding local history and Native homelands, as well as the treaties, tribal status, and governance of an area. Such acknowledgment is typically offered by a visitor to the region or a person who is not a member of the local Native community. This could be a non-Native person or someone from a different tribal nation. There is no single correct way to acknowledge indigenous lands and territories. As such, land acknowledgments should be carefully planned and customized. For example, they can be read aloud at gatherings or meetings, posted in meeting spaces, shared online, and included in printed materials.
