Why do we do a land acknowledgment?
A land acknowledgment is a statement recognizing the Indigenous people who originally inhabited the land where an event is taking place, aiming to honor their history as stewards of the land and acknowledge the ongoing impact of colonization, and a first step towards building respectful relationships with Indigenous communities and promoting awareness of their presence on the land; it's considered a way to recognize the past and present Indigenous peoples in a particular location.
