Land acknowledgement is a traditional custom dating back centuries for many Native communities and nations. For non-Indigenous communities, land acknowledgement is a powerful way of showing respect and honoring the Indigenous Peoples of the land on which we work and live. Acknowledgement is a simple way of resisting the erasure of Indigenous histories and working towards honoring and inviting the truth. You do not need to follow our example acknowledgement word-for-word. Here is an additional example of a Duwamish land acknowledgement painted on the side of Seattle Mennonite Church in North Seattle: “WE AT SEATTLE MENNONITE CHURCH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE ON THE UNCEDED ANCESTRAL LANDS OF THE DUWAMISH PEOPLE. A PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL HERE, CONTINUING TO HONOR AND BRING TO LIGHT THEIR ANCIENT HERITAGE.” This was a project of a senior high school student who worked closely with a Duwamish elder. Acknowledgement can be a thank you or an honoring. It is up to you how you feel your acknowledgement should be carried out.
