OFFICE OF INDIGENIZATION
Wherever we live, work or travel on Turtle Island, we are on Indigenous land. This land shares history, stories and knowledges and must be treated for what it is: a living, breathing reflection of civilization. Land-based teachings inherently evolves as it is an extension of humanity’s ongoing progress of politics, people and societies. One suggested entry point to understanding the fluidity and situational geography and context of land-based teachings is through your practice of traditional land acknowledgement. To learn more about this practice and Indigenous lands, we suggest you visit https://native-land.ca/.

Email indigenization@jibc.ca if you have questions or comments regarding land-based teachings and traditional land acknowledgements.
