Length: 48 minutes
Description:
Join settler-descendant educators from Treaty 4, Sara Solvey and Sheena Koops, as they read their upcoming chapter titled Going Beyond the Space of Acknowledgement: Place, Provocations and Precarious Practice, published in the soon-to-be-released Brave Work in Indigenous Education (DIO Press, 2021). In this chapter, the authors explore the shortfalls of current territorial acknowledgement practices alongside a deepening of their own connections and responsibilities to the Treaties as Treaty relatives. The chapter includes a threaded life-writing narrative between the authors, highlighting the complexity of Indigenous-settler-newcomer relations and importantly, asks: As educational institutions settle into their formalized land acknowledgement practices, how might schools, educators and students work collectively to go beyond the space of acknowledgement?
