Indigenous Place Names and Land Acknowledgements
Optional for all staff.
Help us keep track of awareness by marking that you’ve read the following blog posts here.
Staff are encouraged to learn the story behind the name of the Nature Center at Pia Okwai.
Then learn the difference between making a statement of place vs. a land acknowledgement in the blog post Towards a Land Acknowledgement.
Both of these articles were written by Arcia Tecun (pen name for Director of Culture Daniel Hernandez).
Interested in how Daniel researched the place names we now use? Check out his blog post Learning Local Indigenous Place Names.
