As many of you will know, a variety of territorial acknowledgements of Aboriginal peoples are currently used at key University of Alberta events and ceremonies, such as convocation. As the university continues its work to address the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we need to develop common practices and language for acknowledging the Aboriginal territories. The goal is to develop an institutional territorial acknowledgement that can be widely used in institutional documents (such as convocation programs and the Institutional Strategic Plan) and at university events.
Please come to a town hall on April 26 from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. in ECHA 2–190 for a consultation on language suitable for an official acknowledgement.
All are welcome. Please RSVP.
Thank you and I hope to see you there.
