I have just encountered your content! Addressing issues like this really helps those of us who value indigeneity and are looking for ways to engage appropriately. Thank you so much!
What an impactful video! As I delve into my legal studies and explore the intricacies of making land acknowledgments, your explanation has been incredibly insightful. Thank you for enriching my understanding and adding significant value to my learning journey.
thank you so much for creating this video, i have been struggling on what to do for land acknowledgments for my English's First Peoples Lit Studies assignments thank you so much
@zhaawnong Are you tempted to reply to the ignorant comments about "your team lost, get over it!" So that they could have a hot clue about treaty Rights? Or is that a lost cause?
Just looked up the Pennsylvania Lenape whose land i live on right now and saw how I can plug in as an alli. Penna. will not recognize any tribes here, sickening. Here’s my work.
Thank you for making this very easy to follow and straight forward video about Land Acknowledgments! I am making one for an organization I work for and this is great to use when moving forward when writing it.
Thank you Zhaawnong. I am now writing up a personal land acknowledgement to my hometown in China as a part of my dissertation defence. Your video inspired me. My question is: if I come from that hometown/land but I spent my recent ten years here in Canada, how do I address my acknowledgement (even I am away for ten years) and how to make connections between my current status and my hometown land. Thank you!!
The college that work for has scripted land acknowledgment that makes me cringe. You have inspired me to write a new land acknowledgment that will include a call to action of reducing GHG and a Net Zero building practice that will require renewable energy into the design. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you. I am making a New Year’s resolution to make my own land acknowledgement. I appreciate your patience and kindness. I am feeling a burden as I am interacting with Palestinian content and the reality of the occupation of indigenous land. Peace in 2024.
This never made any sense to me. It’s actually infuriating to hear, the more I hear it. Imagine if I stole your car, and you had no recourse legal or otherwise, then I drove that car to your house a few years later, and acknowledge that I stole it from you. I don’t give it back to you, I don’t even pay you for it. What I say isn’t even an apology. Then I drive off in your car, safe in the knowledge that absolutely nothing will happen to me because of what I did. Do you feel better after that or are you more pissed off and would have felt better if I said nothing at all?
The happened can be addressed and dealt with... In Alcoholics Anonymous, one step is a rigorous personal inventory of what you've done that hurt others... (But Why bother? It's in the past and cannot be undone?) The next thing is to make amends... To make Right where possible the things that you have done to hurt others in the past... (But why bother?! It's in the past!) Because acknowledging the wrongs and harms can indeed have an impact if it's a genuine action, done with a contrite heart, and an evidenced attempt to do better moving forward. It Matters. Do you know who often says, "that was all in the past, let's just leave it behind and move on!" when faced with their own shortcomings? A narcissist.
@@neilpacethis is all a scam. Someone is going around collecting speaking fees for nonsense that sounds good but has no merit whatsoever. You don’t think the natives were fighting and killing each other? Hunting other tribes into extinction and taking land than once belonged to other tribes? Ask yourself as well, how can we be held responsible for actions we never took. I never killed a Native American and I never stole their land. There is no Native American alive today who had their land taken from them. And even if you believed all of this, you can’t really be sorry if you’re not willing to give back what was stolen. I assume you own a house. Have you checked which Native American tribe were the ancestral owners of that land? Why haven’t you given it back to them? It’s easy enough to do, isn’t it? Sell the land to them for a dollar, and tell us all how great a person you are for doing it, but you won’t will you? Because that means you won’t be a hypocrite
I'm so sick of hearing this. All you do is keep the past alive. The problem has become the problem. It's always at the front of your mind and spirit. You are no different than anything else in this world. You have no status, no prestige, you are not superior. All people have been slaves and been colonized in such horrible ways. Everytime i hear this i feel embarrassed for you. Just be strong and empowered for yourself. Empowerment shouldnt have to be " acknowledged" People dont have to Acknowledge anything. Move on and progress. Acknowledge all life, all people, all of yourself.
@samizdat113 You're ignorant... Not in the insulting way, but in the, "you are obtuse, and you don't have a hot clue" kinda way. Let me see if I've got this right, using the old Military conquest model, might makes right, and the European colonists rolled in with Superior military power, and just took over North America and split it amongst themselves... (We could have a discussion about whether it would be okay to kick you out of your house while looking down the barrel of a gun, but let's set that aside for now...) Might makes right. Their team lost. The group with the bigger weapons win. Am I missing anything from your brilliant logical framework? The problem is that the European colonists made contractual agreements with the native people's. They treated them as a Nation and (you might say foolishly) made legally binding agreements with those sovereign nations to live up to certain obligations. They did this in part because philosophers and political thinkers Even back then were starting to question the legitimacy of just taking Land from peoples willy nilly without regards for the conquered people's. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. But wouldn't it be nice if you put a wee bit of thought into yours before you start spouting off like a ignoramus?

Move.
Looks like your channel will be a great resource for those seeking to further understand Indigenous culture.

Protip: don't bother no one cares.
This is racism.
Natives lost the war , get over it , get better weapons next time rofl
The level of ignorance shown in such a short statement is astounding... You should be proud! Obtuse
Can I explain to you how wrong you are? Or are you happy in your hateful ignorance?
Your team lost. Get over it.
