Historical Perspectives

Now that you are on the path to reconciliation and preparing to personalize your Land Acknowledgement, we recommend everyone heed the unwritten declaration of the TRC to know the Truth before you engage in Reconciliation. So many people are excited to get involved, to take meaningful steps toward a better future for all, but especially for Indigenous people. The question we often ask our participants is how much do you know about First Nations people and the Metis? The responses often negate the meaningful steps that are intended and so we encourage people to watch the next two blogs and then go find more information.

These two video blogs are the briefest introductions you can get to better understanding the people who originated and used the Land Acknowledgement for millennia.
