Many educators are familiar with land acknowledgments. Perhaps you have attended a training, conference or other professional development opportunity where the speaker begins their remarks by acknowledging the land they occupy as once belonging to Indigenous people. While land acknowledgments have become a common practice in educational spaces – as a means of honoring the sovereign people and nations who were forced to cede their ancestral lands – we must consider an important question:

How can we move beyond simply acknowledging the land, water, and air, and into greater action and support?

Joins us on Wednesday, October 23rd at 6:30pm as former Ohioan and Washington Educator, Shawn Brehm, discuss what is a land acknowledgement, why it is important to discuss with students, recognize the contributions of Native Americans, and take action to support and elevate Indigenous people, communities, and nations.
