Be intentional about Land Acknowledgements. You may have found yourselves asking what the purpose of a land acknowledgment is. The answer is respect and honor for Indigenous and Native populations who are the rightful descendants of the land that we occupy. A genuine land acknowledgment recognizes that settler colonization resulted in land theft, cultural assimilation through boarding schools, disease, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide, and multigenerational trauma. Just reading statements of solidarity is not enough; we must be intentional in how we engage and support Indigenous and Native communities. The ADEI team will prioritize collaborating with Indigenous and Native communities to craft an acknowledgment that genuinely expresses our sincere commitment. If you want to contribute to this initiative, don’t hesitate to contact the ADEI team.
