SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Delivering and Listening to Land Acknowledgements
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 21\, 20262:00–3:30 pm ETFree\, open to all—register for Zoom link\nLearn about delivering and listening to land acknowledgements in this presentation led by Suzanne Keeptwo. \n\n\n\nLand acknowledgements of today are intended to be an act of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples of the territory upon which non-Indigenous Canadians reside. Yet\, too many iterations are routine and formulaic\, and sorely absent of environmental and social justice initiatives.  \n\n\n\nBeyond simply words\, land acknowledgements are an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous truths\, Canadian realities\, and concepts of relationality. \n\n\n\nIn this Lunch & Learn\, writer Suzanne Keeptwo will highlight essential truths and knowledge for implementing an effective\, Iiving\, breathing land acknowledgement. She will inspire the creation of impactful land acknowledgements intended to raise awareness about connections to\, and responsibilities toward\, the land.   \n\n\n\nThis presentation is free and open to all. Organization leaders and decision-makers are particularly encouraged to join. Those who are responsible for—or conscientious about—the development of meaningful land acknowledgements will understand them as ongoing testaments to reconciliation between all peoples and the Earth. A Q&A period will follow the presentation. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuzanne Keeptwo is a professional writer\, editor\, and consultant.
