Our land acknowledgements series highlights important stories and teachings from each of the Redefining Traditional team members – Heather, Shamim and Kaitlyn. Through these posts, we aim for our community to think about how land acknowledgments are immensely important, and to ensure we engage in teachings about specific cultures beyond a day or month of recognition. We also highlight important questions to support our community so that an acknowledgement moves beyond a ‘script’ and towards an ongoing conversation.
Our final post in this series is by Shamim Ahmed! Our previous two posts are from:
- Heather Watts – who speaks to actionable steps and exercises you can do to move towards meaningful land acknowledgments
- Kaitlyn Corlett – who speaks to her locality as a settler, and ongoing journey with land acknowledgements
