Pine Barrens Natural History Hike 2023 20th Year Celebration - Land Acknowledgement

May 13, 2023

From my perspective as an Indigenous, being asked to provide a land acknowledgment is a great honor that carries immense significance and responsibility. We Indigenous communities have an intimate connection with the land, which shapes our identities, cultures, and histories. Recognizing and respecting this connection is an act of acknowledging the past and acknowledging indigenous peoples' ongoing struggles and resilience. By listening to my indigenous perspective in a land acknowledgment, we can gain a deeper understanding of the injustices faced by these communities and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. It allows us to challenge our assumptions, confront systemic biases, and work towards building more inclusive and equitable relationships with all indigenous peoples. Embracing and amplifying our indigenous voices is crucial to fostering genuine reconciliation and creating a more just society.
