Resources on Developing Land Acknowledgements
Recently, Board Members and staff at Utah Cultural Alliance began thinking through our role in recognizing the Indigenous peoples of Utah. As such, we analyzed, took notes on, and discussed a wide variety of publications available in the importance of developing Indigenous Land Acknowledgements for cultural organizations. In celebration of Indigenous People's Day, we invite you to earnestly take an hour, if not more, of your work day to read through the following resources and consider creating a Land Acknowledgement for your own organization.
