Many educators are familiar with land acknowledgments. Perhaps you have attended
a training, conference or other professional development opportunity where the speaker
begins their remarks by acknowledging the land they occupy as once belonging to Indigenous people. While land acknowledgments have become a common practice in educational spaces – as a means of honoring the sovereign people and nations who were forced to cede their ancestral lands – we must consider an important question:
How can we move beyond simply acknowledging the land, water, and air, and into greater action and support?
Joins us on Wednesday, October 23rd at 6:30pm as former Ohioan and Washington Educator, Shawn Brehm, discuss what is a land acknowledgement, why it is important
to discuss with students, recognize the contributions of Native Americans, and take
action to support and elevate Indigenous people, communities, and nations.
This is an event for OEA members ONLY.
