In this episode, we revisit a conversation I had with Candice Hopkins for my series, "This Old Vibe" – it's an EXTENDED CUT, and we talk about so many things:
What is a land acknowledgment statement? Are they helpful? Why should we write one, and what should people think about when writing one that truly, literally supports the tribes they're hoping to "acknowledge," and more.
Candice is the executive director of Forge Project, a Native-led organization that's dedicated to cultivating and advancing Indigenous leadership in arts and culture.
We also visit Brenda Shufelt at the Hudson Area Library's History Room to learn about how to start the research process, because we're going to write a land acknowledgment statement here at The Jiffy. More to come in a following episode!
