Every time I see a Canadian land acknowledgement, I think of this sketch. I think it's important to remember the people who were here before us, because our gov't tried to erase their culture. youtube.com/watch?v=xlG17C19nY

In your land acknowledgments, instead of simply paying lip service by "recognizing" the historical local Indigenous peoples, let your audience know what you are actually doing to rectify the impact of centuries of colonialism. If the acknowledgment is the sum total of your actions, it's basically a fad, lip service, or both.
