Chances are, you’ve seen, heard, or delivered a land acknowledgement. But do you know the significance of land acknowledgements or the best practices for delivering them? Join the OFL’s First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Circle (FNMI), on June 21 at 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. – National Indigenous Peoples Day – for Land Acknowledgements: Why do we do it?
