Land acknowledgements are more than ceremonial words — they are opportunities for learning, respect, and truth-telling. In this episode, Jan and Marlene discuss how individuals and organizations can create meaningful land acknowledgements grounded in research, relationship, and personal reflection. The conversation also addresses why acknowledging Indigenous history matters today, how family stories can be woven respectfully into acknowledgements, and how these practices help keep collective memory alive.
Join REACH Edmonton’s Jan Fox and Native Counselling Services of Alberta’s Marlene Orr, as they explore the history of settler-Indigenous relations, what it means to be an ally, and how we can build a better future together.
