These resources are an excellent place to start thinking about developing land acknowledgements, or extending land acknowledgement practices. Part of taking steps towards supporting Indigenous and Native peoples is doing the appropriate research to educate yourself before asking for Indigenous labor, either through collaboration or education. Please review these resources before contacting anyone to seek out assistance. The most respectful way to approach this work is to start where you stand.
