Description: Do land acknowledgments mostly only benefit the person who is publicly reciting them? Are Canadian-born white people actually uninvited visitors/guests on Turtle Island? Are indigenous people the God-given "caretakers" of the earth? I examine the phenomenon of land acknowledgements, and the issues they're connected to, as they become increasingly prominent in Canadian schools/universities and beyond.
