Land acknowledgements have become common practice 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.
