Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who is the target audience to use this resource?

Everyone. The survey is an open invitation to put Land Acknowledgements side by side and to provide analysis and critical assessment to existing and public land acknowledgements. This work dislodges authority from the center and redistributes expertise across space and time.

Can there be multiple entries for a single entity?

Yes. It may be the case that multiple survey responses address the same institution.At some point we may consolidate these multiples into one entry. We encourage this usage of the platform as an open forum of critical engagement, where multiple voices are in conversation with each other.

What regions/countries does this resource reflect?

While Land Acknowledgement projects exist across the globe, the scope of this survey focuses primarily on the United States and the unique settler colonial histories associated with these lands and waters.
