Crafting Meaningful Territorial Acknowledgements – A Learning Circle (CTE2251)

Tuesday, July 12, 2022 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)
Location: Online (Zoom)
Facilitator: Leslie Wexler (CTE) and Rebecca MacAlpine (CTE)

Workshop description

A learning circle functions by discussion occurring as sharing, open questioning, inclusive design with the result of a co-created territorial acknowledgment for those present. We will also discuss the importance of land acknowledgements to Indigenous people and the differences between a territorial acknowledgement and a land acknowledgement.

** In this circle we recognize that identity is complex and that many people of settler, mixed Indigenous heritage, or those who have been removed from their culture, may question if they belong in Indigenous workshops, activities, ceremonies or circles, but we would like to assure you that you are welcome to connect in this space.     

This workshop has two parts:

  • the main workshop, taking place in Zoom, on Tuesday, July 12 from 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
  • an optional follow-up session, taking place in Zoom, on Thursday, July 28 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. (you do not need to attend the follow-up session to receive the workshop credit).
