When events are held, it's important to know who's physically in the room, but also those who occupied the land before we all came along. Honoring and acknowledging Native land is extremely important and needs to become more of a consistent practice. This Guide, which was created in partnership with Native allies and organizations, offers instructions on how to begin this type of practice and context of what acknowledgment really means. It also provides tips for moving beyond acknowledgment into action.
