what they are why it's important to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

\r\n

\r\n
territory acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
00:26<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
hello everyone<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:28<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so first off we're gonna talk about what<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:30<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
exactly<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:31<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
is a land acknowledgement or a land or<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:34<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
territory acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:35<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
basically a land or territory<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:37<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:38<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
is conducted so that a group of people<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:40<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
that you're teaching or interacting with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:43<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
are aware that they are on indigenous<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:45<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
lands<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:46<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
it's a statement of respect that should<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:48<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
lead to further reflection<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:50<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
of where you're doing your learning and<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:52<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
who you're doing it with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:54<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so in the past and currently territory<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:57<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgements are becoming<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
00:59<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and have been controversial as some<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:01<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
indigenous people<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:02<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
feel like these acknowledgments are<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:04<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
becoming tokenized or used as a brief<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:06<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
political statement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:08<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
as a segue into regular conversation so<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:11<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
our purpose today is to help guide you<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
through<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:14<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
how to do a territory or land<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:16<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgement that's authentic to you<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:19<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and respectful to the people that you<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:21<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
are teaching and learning<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:24<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:26<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
it's important to do a territory<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:27<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgement because<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:29<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
it helps us recognize our colonial past<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:32<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and take responsibility for our<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:34<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
promise of reconciliation it helps to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:37<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
create a safer space for indigenous<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:39<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
peoples<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:40<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
because we often can create discomfort<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:43<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
for non-indigenous peoples which may<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:46<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
give way to reflection and further<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:47<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
learning<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:48<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
some people that aren't traditionally<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:51<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
from these lands could feel<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:52<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
uncomfortable<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:53<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
speaking and doing this acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:55<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
which is why we're here to help to help<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:57<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
walk you through<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
01:58<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
how you would do an acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:02<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
that's right awesome job haley okay<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:05<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so when should you actually do a<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:07<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
territory acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:09<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
well anytime you have a public gathering<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:11<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
of people<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:12<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
either in person or online you should be<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:16<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
doing<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:16<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
a territory acknowledgement because we<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:18<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
are recognizing<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:20<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
that we are visitors and we are<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:21<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
occupying these lands<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:24<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so the components of a territory<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:26<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:27<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
can be really simple um and you can also<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:30<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
kind of make them a bit more complex so<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:32<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
we start with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:33<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
a recognition of the lands that you are<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:35<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
on<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:36<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
then you follow by stating whose<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:39<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
territory or whose territories the land<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:41<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
belongs to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:42<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and then we always try to pronounce the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:45<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
nations as<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:46<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
accurately as possible and this is part<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:48<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
of<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:49<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
settlers doing the work so<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:52<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
we try really hard to pronounce these<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:55<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
words that are unfamiliar to us<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
02:58<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
because our everyone else who comes to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:01<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
canada they learn<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:02<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
our english language and they try to do<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:05<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the best they can so<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:06<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
we are also going to recognize that we<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:09<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
get to be uncomfortable sometimes<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:12<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
okay so we're now going to share what a<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:15<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
territory acknowledgement sounds like<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:18<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
based on<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:19<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
where we teach so um<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:22<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
i teach in school district 61 greater<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:26<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
victoria<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:27<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and we have a shorter territory of<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:30<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:31<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so it starts off like this<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:35<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the greater victoria school district<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:38<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
wishes to recognize and acknowledge the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:40<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
esquimalt and songhis nations<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:42<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
on whose traditional territories we live<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:45<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
we learn and we do our work<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:47<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
now i am not the greater victoria school<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:50<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
district<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:51<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so as an individual i might say<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:55<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
i as a visitor to these lands wish to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
03:57<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
recognize and acknowledge the esquimalt<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:00<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and songhis nations<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:01<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
on whose traditional territories i live<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:04<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
i learn<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:05<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
and i do my work and what i really like<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:08<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
about the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:09<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the sd61 territory acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:13<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
is that it also talks about doing the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:16<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
work<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:16<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so we are actively remembering<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:20<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
that we have work to do in order to meet<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:23<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the trc's<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:24<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
calls to action and so i really<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:26<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
appreciated that they<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:27<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
put that in there and haley is going to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:30<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
take it away with the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:32<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
spanich land acknowledgement thank you<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:35<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
joanna<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:35<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
i really appreciate that you took time<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:38<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
to slow down with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:40<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
pronunciation and acknowledging how you<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:42<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
would<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:43<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
do the acknowledgement as a<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:45<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
representative of the school<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:47<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
school district and also you as the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:49<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
visitor yourself<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:51<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
so in saanich we<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:54<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
use the acknowledgement which is a<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:55<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
little uh different because<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:57<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
there are different communities from<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
04:59<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
which uh the schools reside<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
05:02<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

what you feel more comfortable with<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

and with saanich in regards to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
05:39<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
talking about what that acknowledgement<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

05:42<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
means to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
retain their identity<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
diverse cultures presented in schools<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

06:58<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
it is an acknowledgement um and it's not<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:00<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
just<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
not going to mention that we're doing<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:05<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the work we're not going to mention the<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
significance and then we're moving on<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
we're actively i think<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:12<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
getting into people's heads that this is<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:14<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
important<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
couldn't agree more it's acknowledging<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:21<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
the past and then also embracing<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:23<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
what future relationships are going to<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
07:25<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
look like with the people that are now<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\n
00:20<\/div>\n
\n

\n
00:25<\/div>\n
\n
territory acknowledgements here we go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:26<\/div>\n
\n
hello everyone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:28<\/div>\n
\n
so first off we’re gonna talk about what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:30<\/div>\n
\n
exactly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:31<\/div>\n
\n
is a land acknowledgement or a land or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:34<\/div>\n
\n
territory acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:35<\/div>\n
\n
basically a land or territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:37<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:38<\/div>\n
\n
is conducted so that a group of people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:40<\/div>\n
\n
that you’re teaching or interacting with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:43<\/div>\n
\n
are aware that they are on indigenous<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:45<\/div>\n
\n
lands<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:46<\/div>\n
\n
it’s a statement of respect that should<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:48<\/div>\n
\n
lead to further reflection<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:50<\/div>\n
\n
of where you’re doing your learning and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:52<\/div>\n
\n
who you’re doing it with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:54<\/div>\n
\n
so in the past and currently territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:57<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgements are becoming<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
00:59<\/div>\n
\n
and have been controversial as some<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:01<\/div>\n
\n
indigenous people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:02<\/div>\n
\n
feel like these acknowledgments are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:04<\/div>\n
\n
becoming tokenized or used as a brief<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:06<\/div>\n
\n
political statement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

and respectful to the people that you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:21<\/div>\n
\n
are teaching and learning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:24<\/div>\n
\n
with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:26<\/div>\n
\n
it’s important to do a territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:27<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgement because<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:29<\/div>\n
\n
it helps us recognize our colonial past<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:32<\/div>\n
\n
and take responsibility for our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:34<\/div>\n
\n
promise of reconciliation it helps to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:37<\/div>\n
\n
create a safer space for indigenous<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:39<\/div>\n
\n
peoples<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:40<\/div>\n
\n
because we often can create discomfort<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:43<\/div>\n
\n
for non-indigenous peoples which may<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:46<\/div>\n
\n
give way to reflection and further<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:47<\/div>\n
\n
learning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:48<\/div>\n
\n
some people that aren’t traditionally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:51<\/div>\n
\n
from these lands could feel<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:52<\/div>\n
\n
uncomfortable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:53<\/div>\n
\n
speaking and doing this acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:55<\/div>\n
\n
which is why we’re here to help to help<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:57<\/div>\n
\n
walk you through<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
01:58<\/div>\n
\n
how you would do an acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:02<\/div>\n
\n
that’s right awesome job haley okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:05<\/div>\n
\n
so when should you actually do a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:07<\/div>\n
\n
territory acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:09<\/div>\n
\n
well anytime you have a public gathering<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:11<\/div>\n
\n
of people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:12<\/div>\n
\n
either in person or online you should be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:16<\/div>\n
\n
doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:16<\/div>\n
\n
a territory acknowledgement because we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:18<\/div>\n
\n
are recognizing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:20<\/div>\n
\n
that we are visitors and we are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:21<\/div>\n
\n
occupying these lands<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:24<\/div>\n
\n
so the components of a territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:26<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:27<\/div>\n
\n
can be really simple um and you can also<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:30<\/div>\n
\n
kind of make them a bit more complex so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:32<\/div>\n
\n
we start with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:33<\/div>\n
\n
a recognition of the lands that you are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:35<\/div>\n
\n
on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:36<\/div>\n
\n
then you follow by stating whose<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:39<\/div>\n
\n
territory or whose territories the land<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:41<\/div>\n
\n
belongs to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:42<\/div>\n
\n
and then we always try to pronounce the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:45<\/div>\n
\n
nations as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:46<\/div>\n
\n
accurately as possible and this is part<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:48<\/div>\n
\n
of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:49<\/div>\n
\n
settlers doing the work so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:52<\/div>\n
\n
we try really hard to pronounce these<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:55<\/div>\n
\n
words that are unfamiliar to us<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
02:58<\/div>\n
\n
because our everyone else who comes to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:01<\/div>\n
\n
canada they learn<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:02<\/div>\n
\n
our english language and they try to do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:05<\/div>\n
\n
the best they can so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:06<\/div>\n
\n
we are also going to recognize that we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:09<\/div>\n
\n
get to be uncomfortable sometimes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:12<\/div>\n
\n
okay so we’re now going to share what a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:15<\/div>\n
\n
territory acknowledgement sounds like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:18<\/div>\n
\n
based on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:19<\/div>\n
\n
where we teach so um<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:22<\/div>\n
\n
i teach in school district 61 greater<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:26<\/div>\n
\n
victoria<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:27<\/div>\n
\n
and we have a shorter territory of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:30<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:31<\/div>\n
\n
so it starts off like this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:35<\/div>\n
\n
the greater victoria school district<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:38<\/div>\n
\n
wishes to recognize and acknowledge the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:40<\/div>\n
\n
esquimalt and songhis nations<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:42<\/div>\n
\n
on whose traditional territories we live<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:45<\/div>\n
\n
we learn and we do our work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:47<\/div>\n
\n
now i am not the greater victoria school<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:50<\/div>\n
\n
district<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:51<\/div>\n
\n
so as an individual i might say<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:55<\/div>\n
\n
i as a visitor to these lands wish to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
03:57<\/div>\n
\n
recognize and acknowledge the esquimalt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:00<\/div>\n
\n
and songhis nations<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:01<\/div>\n
\n
on whose traditional territories i live<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:04<\/div>\n
\n
i learn<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:05<\/div>\n
\n
and i do my work and what i really like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:08<\/div>\n
\n
about the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:09<\/div>\n
\n
the sd61 territory acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:13<\/div>\n
\n
is that it also talks about doing the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:16<\/div>\n
\n
work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:16<\/div>\n
\n
so we are actively remembering<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:20<\/div>\n
\n
that we have work to do in order to meet<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:23<\/div>\n
\n
the trc’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:24<\/div>\n
\n
calls to action and so i really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:26<\/div>\n
\n
appreciated that they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:27<\/div>\n
\n
put that in there and haley is going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:30<\/div>\n
\n
take it away with the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:32<\/div>\n
\n
spanich land acknowledgement thank you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:35<\/div>\n
\n
joanna<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:35<\/div>\n
\n
i really appreciate that you took time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:38<\/div>\n
\n
to slow down with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:40<\/div>\n
\n
pronunciation and acknowledging how you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:42<\/div>\n
\n
would<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:43<\/div>\n
\n
do the acknowledgement as a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:45<\/div>\n
\n
representative of the school<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:47<\/div>\n
\n
school district and also you as the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:49<\/div>\n
\n
visitor yourself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:51<\/div>\n
\n
so in saanich we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:54<\/div>\n
\n
use the acknowledgement which is a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:55<\/div>\n
\n
little uh different because<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:57<\/div>\n
\n
there are different communities from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
04:59<\/div>\n
\n
which uh the schools reside<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:02<\/div>\n
\n
so the land acknowledgement for saanich<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:04<\/div>\n
\n
would sound like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:05<\/div>\n
\n
the saanich school district resides on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:08<\/div>\n
\n
the traditional territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:09<\/div>\n
\n
of the wasanich people encompassing the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:12<\/div>\n
\n
four local communities<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:14<\/div>\n
\n
pakuchin sartlip saikum and sayo<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:17<\/div>\n
\n
we would like to acknowledge and thank<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:19<\/div>\n
\n
the wassanich people for sharing their<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:21<\/div>\n
\n
territory<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:21<\/div>\n
\n
haichka is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:26<\/div>\n
\n
another word for thank you you can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:29<\/div>\n
\n
either say heichka if you would like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:30<\/div>\n
\n
or you can say thank you depending on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:32<\/div>\n
\n
what you feel more comfortable with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:35<\/div>\n
\n
and with saanich in regards to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:39<\/div>\n
\n
talking about what that acknowledgement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:42<\/div>\n
\n
means to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:43<\/div>\n
\n
the educators in the district it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
05:46<\/div>\n
\n
education<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:47<\/div>\n
\n
for wasanich and other indigenous<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:49<\/div>\n
\n
students in ways that enable them to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:51<\/div>\n
\n
retain their identity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:52<\/div>\n
\n
and pride in their heritage and at the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:54<\/div>\n
\n
same time gaining respect for the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:56<\/div>\n
\n
diverse cultures presented in schools<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
05:58<\/div>\n
\n

\n
06:09<\/div>\n
\n
wastage culture values<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:11<\/div>\n

06:35<\/div>\n
\n

\n
06:37<\/div>\n
\n
this culture and these values and we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:39<\/div>\n
\n
need to talk about the complex history<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:42<\/div>\n
\n
with our students<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
06:46<\/div>\n
\n
finally happening<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:47<\/div>\n
\n
so i feel like i feel like our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:51<\/div>\n
\n

\n
06:53<\/div>\n
\n
acknowledgements<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:55<\/div>\n
\n
are honoring um the fact that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
06:58<\/div>\n
\n
it is an acknowledgement um and it’s not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:00<\/div>\n
\n
just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:02<\/div>\n
\n
hey we’re quickly doing this thing we’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:04<\/div>\n
\n
not going to mention that we’re doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:05<\/div>\n
\n
the work we’re not going to mention the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:07<\/div>\n
\n
significance and then we’re moving on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:09<\/div>\n
\n
we’re actively i think<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:12<\/div>\n
\n
getting into people’s heads that this is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:14<\/div>\n
\n
important<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:16<\/div>\n
\n
and this is something that we need to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:17<\/div>\n
\n
talk about yeah couldn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:19<\/div>\n
\n
couldn’t agree more it’s acknowledging<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:21<\/div>\n
\n
the past and then also embracing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:23<\/div>\n
\n
what future relationships are going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:25<\/div>\n
\n
look like with the people that are now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:27<\/div>\n
\n
learning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:28<\/div>\n
\n
and living on these lands and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:30<\/div>\n
\n
territories<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
07:37<\/div>\n
\n
years<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:38<\/div>\n
\n
when we have more um<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:43<\/div>\n
\n
maybe more bands getting uh their own<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:45<\/div>\n
\n
governance systems and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
with territory acknowledgements<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:52<\/div>\n
\n

\n
07:54<\/div>\n
\n
change<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:55<\/div>\n
\n
and talk about um you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
07:59<\/div>\n
\n
is it always appropriate to be doing one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
08:01<\/div>\n
\n
