Module 2: Post 4: What are we Acknowledging

I recently came across this video which features Stephen Paquette. Stephen discusses what we should be acknowledging when we do land acknowledgements. This video really helped me to see what should go into an acknowledgement. Paquette talked about how we need to understand that many Indigenous Peoples were nomadic and moved with the changing seasons. He also mentioned that in an Indigenous worldview and perspective, people are caretakers of the land and that land is not owned. I think this short video is a must-see for everyone when trying to create authentic ways to acknowledge and honour lands and Indigenous peoples and ways of knowing.
