Bonnie Jane Maracle – Traditional Teacher in Residence – 1:1 Sessions
First Nations House
Reflecting on Indigenous Land Acknowledgements (Student Training)
Virtual Learning - Remote LearningThis is a virtual session. Instructions will be provided closer to the day of class. Many Canadian Institutions including the University of Toronto do land acknowledgements before meetings, before convocations and at seminars and conferences, but why do we do them; what is their purpose and are they an effective tool of reconciliation and decolonization. The fear is that land acknowledgements have become largely performative and rote stripping them of their potential to bring about change. These are some of the questions and topics that will be explored in this one and half hour session, Indigenous Land Acknowledgements.
