This week our class spent time learning about the importance of land acknowledgments. Students discussed the various ways in which we can show our appreciation for the land in which we live now. It is incredibly important that we recognize that these lands and territories do not belong to us, rather they belong to the Indigenous people who came before us. In addition, we discussed the fact that acknowledging land rights also plays a part in the acknowledgment of the consequences of colonization that can still be felt today.
Students also learned about The Numbered Treaties made between the Government of Canada and the Indigenous peoples between 1871 and 1921. The promises that were made in these treaties were sadly broken.
