“Beyond Land Acknowledgements”: 'RETHINKING LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS' with Steph Littlebird (Indigenous Peoples Day 2023)
The Pacific Green Party, like many other organizations, has read land acknowledgements before our meetings. But we invite our members to think beyond land acknowledgements. What comes after we acknowledge the land & its Native stewards? How can individuals & institutions contribute to lasting changes & be true allies for Indigenous communities?
With the rise in popularity of land acknowledgements, Indigenous artist Steph Littlebird asks us to reexamine this trend & go beyond the statement. Learn more about past & present Native identity, how to look critically at land acknowledgements, move past words & toward action.
STEPH LITTLEBIRD is an artist, author, curator and enrolled member of Oregon’s Grand Ronde Confederated Tribes.
KGW also ran a story on this subject not that long ago:
"In land acknowledgments, many tribal leaders hear empty words"
