Meaningful Land Acknowledgments for Professionals

With Syndel Thomas Kozar - Two-Spirit Entrepreneur, Group Educator/Facilitator, Consultant, and Artist

February 20, 2026, 12 - 2 CST, via Google Meet

Land Acknowledgements are more than stating where you are currently located by Treaty #, they are relational accountability. This workshop invites participants to move beyond scripted acknowledgments toward an understanding of what it means to be in right relationship with the land and the Nations who care for it.

Through reflection, discussion, and guided writing, participants craft land acknowledgments rooted in truth, care, and action. The session also explores relational accountability, small, practical steps organizations can take to embed reciprocity and care into their daily work and policies.

Each session is customized to reflect local Nations and lived realities.
