CBC journalist Ramna Shahzad provides an overview of land acknowledgements, a tradition “that many Indigenous people say marks a small but essential step toward reconciliation” as they become more commonplace across Canada. Shazad interviews Alison Norman, a Trent University researcher and Ontario Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation research adviser, who says that land acknowledgements are not enough, but they are the start of a personalized learning process which leads to questions about the people referenced in them and the history of the land.
