A few different websites share whose land you are currently located on. I like whose land it gives you the option to see the treaties, nations, territories by city, where residential schools were. They include lesson plans and ways to create your own land acknowledgement. I find this website easy to use and clear enough for middle-aged students to create their own land acknowledgement. The Q and A section is quite in-depth and gives information for those needing it.
This is a great resource for Indigenous history 101.
Hi Kayli,
Is this the correct resource? https://www.whose.land/en/
If so, I really enjoyed exploring it. I find in our masters we are often ask to take a globalized approach to our understandings but in this course specifically, I have tried to pull back to local, place-based context. I also find with land acknowledgements, sometimes they are made because a settler feels they have to make it without understanding the purpose, misnaming lands and local context.
I’d be curious to see what this map looks like with US territory included as the borders for Indigenous communities were much different before “formal” ownership and colonization.
