If you caught the last episode of WUWK?! you got to hear the story of me trying to receive some feedback on whether some stuff I’d written was steeped in white supremacy and white privilege despite my best efforts to not do that.  Let’s just say that I was less than graceful in receiving the feedback, but mostly staggered my way to a slightly less white version of what I had been trying to say.

At the end of my conversation with the woman who was giving me (or trying to give me) feedback, she shared an idea with me.  It was about land acknowledgements.  And at first I had a really strong knee jerk reaction against her suggestion.  Such a big reaction, in fact, that I knew I had to dig in there a bit more.  And when I did, I pretty much changed my point of view 180 degrees.  So… let’s talk land acknowledgements!
