Indigenous Land Acknowledgements

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.

Attend a Meeting

Currently, 10:30AM to 12pm on Sundays in the Library of the Acadia University Chapel, Wolfville. Go through the sanctuary and exit by the door in the back on the right. Turn right and go through another door, and the Library is on your left.
Note: We also provide access via Zoom. Contact us for information.

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.

Note: We also provide access via Zoom. Contact us for information.

Open to the public. Dress is casual — come as you are.
