M3:Entry 2 – Indigenous Perspectives On Land Acknowledgements

Whenever, we as non-Indigenous people, address issues such as reconciliation, treaties or land acknowledgements it is important to seek out the perspectives of those in the Indigenous community. I thought the following article in Vice was interesting as it focused on the thoughts of Indigenous artists. A common theme was most of the land acknowledgments they heard were not authentic and they expressed the need for them to be active and address relationships with the land.
