When I think of land acknowledgments it was always rooted in history, recognizing that we would not have a home were it not for the First peoples, the original stewards of this land. This workshop pushed me further to analyze my role as a settler on this land. I think I realized that land acknowledgements should not be stagnant, and should evolve as our understanding of issues deepens and hopefully as our efforts towards reconciliation become clearer.
