I just finished putting together my #LandAcknowledgement, which is also an action plan because of what I learned at the Native Governance Center (https://nativegov.org/news/beyond-land-acknowledgment-guide/).
A quote by the Wishtoyo Chumash Foundation gives me hope that my actions might make a difference: “Any action we take has the potential to ripple out and affect so many others, through time, without us ever even being aware of it.” https://www.wishtoyo.org/first-nations-ecological-conservation-alliance
The #LandAcknowledgment & Action Plan are at my website: http://corinalogan.com (scroll down). It will also go in my articles that use data from this population of grackles.
It took lots of learning to get to the point of having a finished statement. I share my process here in the hopes that it inspires you to do this as well!
My process...I read about #LandAcknowledgments & saw examples. I like the Native Governance Center's advice, so I followed their steps

#DavidShaneLowry Calls for More Than a #LandAcknowledgement in Talk Hosted by Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology
by Christian Estrada and Tayla Stempson
Oct 18, 2024"On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology hosted a talk by David Shane Lowry, a member of the #Lumbee Tribe and an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Maine. His discussion centered on settler #colonialism, the #LandBack movement, and the importance of returning #IndigenousLands to their original owners.
"In an interview with The Phillipian, Lowry urged students to grapple with #IndigenousHistory in the current era, not just the past. He expressed his hopes for Andover students not to shy away from uncomfortable situations.
"'You have to make Native and Indigenous peoples part of today. They can’t merely be part of events/politics/wars in the past. Every experience that you all at PA have with your local and national community ought to be to work to reverse the realities that allow you to live comfortably outside of relationships with Native and Indigenous peoples,' wrote Lowry in an email to The Phillipian."

It made me smile to read the #LandAcknowledgement on #ZeroTheCat's Website.
I've been so impressed by some of the websites that my British Columbia Institute of Technology students built this past Term, a wonderful mix of creative, funny, thought provoking, and forward thinking.
For a smile and a little more light in your day, go for a ramble with Zero: https://zerothecat.ca/
