Indigenous communities have existed in the lands now called the United States of America since time immemorial. Creating a Land Acknowledgement is a step that organizations take to demonstrate respect for all Native peoples. Creating a Land Acknowledgement that is meaningful and active is the key to true allyship with the original inhabitants of Turtle Island.
Join Joseph Cloud (citizen of Cherokee Nation) on Saturday, November 6, for a special workshop on Creating a Purposeful Land Acknowledgement! This workshop has been designed specifically for Artists, Arts Educators, and Arts Organizations.
We will highlight actionable ways to back up allyship to Native communities and historical information that is often omitted from the narrative of Indigenous communities.
● Overview of Land Acknowledgements, their origin and purpose.
● Examples of well-written Land Acknowledgements.
● Highlight Native issues prevalent today
● Ways to incorporate a Land Acknowledgement into art spaces + practices
● Illustrate actionable continuation and follow-through
The latest version of our Land Acknowledgement, found on our homepage, was written after attending a workshop led by Joseph, so, we KNOW this is going to be a practical and wonderful experience for you.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL NOT BE RECORDED. PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND LIVE, FOR THE ENTIRETY. A resource guide will be made available to all participants after the workshop.
