Living on what was another peoples’ homeland through their coerced removal carries with it a generational responsibility to recognize and honor their history and their legitimate claim to places where we live. Recognizing that preparing a land acknowledgment is a first step towards creating right relationship with the land and its native peoples, this program will review:

• the Euro-colonial principles and means used to take Turtle Island from its original inhabitants;
• sources for identifying accurate local native history;
• ways to correctly identify and contact culturally affiliated tribes; and
• current land-return movements in the United States
