If it is just a fact, then why would you have to say it before every meeting?    You know about the cannibalism (and the wars) of the Anishinaabe, but for some reason don't you want to state this fact before every meeting.

Should meetings in England begin by stating that they are on land previously occupied by the Normans, and previous to that by the Anglo-Saxons, and previous to that by the Romans, and previous to that by the Celts?     All these groups gained their land through extremely violent wars.

Hi. Democrat here. I think land acknowledgments are dumb and pointless myself but I have to say…who is doing them? Because I work for a left-leaning nonprofit and I’ve never heard anyone do one before a meeting. Is this just something conservatives imagine is happening before every meeting? [/quote]

I had mentioned it because I came across it at work at the University of Maryland (https://diversity.umd.edu/resources/land-acknowledgement ).       They are much more common in the western US and especially in Canada.    (I am told that they are also common in Australia.)   Try googling "land acknowledgement Canada" where they seem to be part of every university and government agency.[/quote]
