Canadian Association of Law Libraries Upcoming Webinar on How to Create a Respectful Land Acknowledgement Statement

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. EST on How to Create a Respectful Land Acknowledgement Statement:

"Understanding and committing to the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is an important function of all leaders. Learning the history of land acknowledgements is an important step in the path to reconciliation to help deepen our knowledge of other calls to action and can help to move reconciliation forward. Members will learn how to draft a land acknowledgement that is both thoughtful and aligned to their organization's role in the reconciliation process."

The speaker will be Jaimie Kechego, the Indigenous Curriculum and Pedagogy Project Coordinator for the Centre for Teaching and Learning. She is Anishnaabwekwe from Deshkaan Ziibing (the Chippewa of the Thames First Nation reserve) located near London, Ontario.
