Decolonization and Land Acknowledgements

One of our favourite resources is a 2016 interview with Anishinaabe comedian and writer Ryan McMahon. In this 7-minute segment on CBC’s “The 180”, McMahon talks about the relationship between decolonization and reconciliation, how well-intentioned kindness can distract us from hard questions about land, and why land acknowledgements are a bit like telling someone you stole their truck.

Note that on fourth Sundays, we start at 10:15am with a “Forum” where one of us presents on an issue of concern, or shares our spiritual journey, followed by questions and comments. This ends at 10:50 and we take a brief break before holding Meeting for Worship from 11am to noon, followed by a time to share and get to know one another.
