Land acknowledgments might have outlived their usefulness. Instead of performing an acknowledgment of Native peoples, institutions should establish credible relationships with existing Native nations.
What they need from universities, corporations, nonprofits and local and state governments is partnerships that acknowledge and build on their continuing sovereignty.
The point is to make us more aware of the dispossession and violence that occurred in the establishment and expansion of the United States.
The movement in the United States, which did not result from a Native-led reconciliation process, reflects a need for deeper engagement with Indigenous communities.
