My gosh, I don’t get why people are so hung up about Acknowledgments of Country. Every single university class or meeting has had one. I don’t see why it’s a big deal. It is just a statement that acknowledges that we are on Aboriginal land as a sign of respect. I can see how people see it as tokenistic, but I think a) it doesn’t have to happen at every single gathering and b) it is the least we can do, considering many Aboriginal people had violent atrocities committed against them, and many communities are the way they are now because of things brought about by settler-colonials.
