Professional Reading

As students begin composing their own acknowledgements, teachers might benefit from their own professional learning related to treaties, Indigenous governance, land title, and local Nations to ensure discussions are respectful, accurate, and grounded in contemporary Indigenous realities. This preparation helps teachers to help students shift their land acknowledgements from statements of location toward reflections on relationship, responsibility, and belonging.
