Karen Restoule joins Stephen LeDrew to put to bed those inane land acknowledgements in Canada. While the woke see them as a meaningful gesture of reconciliation, others argue they have become performative and hypocritical, especially when used in contexts that have little to do with Indigenous culture or tradition. Karen explains the difference between a traditional First Nations prayer of thanks and the land acknowledgements often seen in modern gatherings. Isn’t it time to reevaluate these practices and make them more authentic, and retire those tired old acknowledgements as just another form of empty virtue signaling? Watch as they unpack this controversial topic in today’s Three Minutes.
