The Land Use Acknowledgement training … truly facilitated connections on many levels. We reached out …with an intent to develop Land Use Acknowledgement practices that are more than words. Through a series of workshop conversations, we were guided through content, questions, vulnerability, and writing exercises that paralleled, for me, the creative process itself. I wrote a Land Use Acknowledgment that feels authentic to its purpose of recognizing Abenaki Presence with this Land. I am grateful for the organized, multi-dimensional, and responsive learning environment Vera cultivated.
I’m aware that the workshop represents a beginning more so than completion. There is more to learn and unlearn. And Inclusive Arts Vermont plans to connect with … in the future for a similar workshop with more members of our team. In the meantime, when I offer Land Use Acknowledgements, the practice connects with memories from the workshops with Vera, her guidance and care, and reverence from my own heart.
