It is our understanding at Valéry Brosseau that many Indigenous folks find land acknowledgments performative, and we feel that including one only serves to assuage our discomfort with Canada's genocidal history, which we benefit from daily. In lieu of a land acknowledgment, we encourage everyone, including ourselves, to learn from Indigenous people, educate ourselves, support Indigenous businesses, support policy change with positive impact for Indigenous communities, volunteer and donate to Indigenous organizations and celebrate Indigenous film, television, art, music, literature, culture, knowledge and practices.
