In our experience, territorial acknowledgments are something to be included by settlers (this is not the same as inviting an Elder or Indigenous representative to speak at your event) as a way of acknowledging the stolen Indigenous lands we occupy. Ideally, they are an opportunity to reflect on your relationship to the land, your power and privilege.

A territorial acknowledgement should not just be a passive placeholder that we use to check off a box for Indigenous engagement or reconciliation. It should be an active recognition of intentionality in relationship and community.
