​Craft Your Own Land Acknowledgement?
​
A Templete
There is no one-size-fits-all framework for every remark. Here are some ideas to get you started on your land recognition. However, feel free to deviate from these templates and write an acknowledgment that reflects your personal connection to the land and the Indigenous peoples with whom you share that relationship. Remember to be honest, positive, and courteous when writing.
