The Indigenous Land You Live On: Going Beyond Territory Acknowledgements

The Indigenous Land You Live On: Going Beyond Territory Acknowledgements

How do you discuss Native American contemporary cultures in existence from time immemorial on the land where you teach and live? The NCSS Canada Community will host Christine McRae, Executive Director of Native Land Digital, the free, web-based interactive resource (https://native-land.ca).  Christine is an Omàmìwininì Madaoueskarini Anishinaabekwe (a woman of the Madawaska River Algonquin people) and belongs to the Crane Clan. Christine's work is based in telling the true history of Indigenous people, particularly those belonging to the Algonquin Nation. 

Native Land Digital supports learning and discussions about traditional Indigenous Land, territory acknowledgments, language, and colonization. 

In this webinar, we will converse about ways that Native Land Digital is a valuable starting point for educators to teach and engage with their students on topics of Indigenous land —including the land where you live, work, and play. The conversation will include a short user experience of the website, a review of Native Land's teacher's guide, suggested publications, and answers to participants’ questions.
