Stuart Reges Version of the Land Acknowledgement

Heard crazy things about this dude but he just breezed over this in the syllabus and I had to look at it a few times because I just assumed it would be the same as all the other UW land acknowledgments. While whipping through the later part of the syllabus he goes "religious accommodations, my version of the land acknowledgment, and then the software you will need". Well this is his version of the land acknowledgment he so nonchalantly skipped over:

wild.

UPDATE: This is what happens if you go to the syllabus now....

Stuart Regis explains his land acknowledgement position

In the most recent episode, Katie started off with an anecdote about Stuart Regis Reges and his "land acknowledgment" brouhaha. He just published an article in Quillette providing more details. Excerpt:

>I have been asked by colleagues and friends why I am making such a big deal out of something so trivial. Some of them have concluded that my intransigence is just a stunt and that I’ve been needlessly rude for good measure. But I can ask the same question in reverse. Why is this such a big deal to my critics? The first official message about all this was copied to two deans and a vice provost, so this has obviously been discussed at a high level within the university. I was told that my land acknowledgment is offensive even though I didn’t insult anyone. I was told that it created a β€œtoxic environment” in my class and the university Twitter account declared itself β€œhorrified.” Toxic? Horrified? Really? And now students are being offered the option of a different instructor. So, who is making a big deal out of this?

Anyone else disappointed with how the Raptors/Scotiabank have handled the indigenous land acknowledgements before games?

I've gone to a couple games this season (my first season watching live action basketball!) and I couldn't help but be bothered by the fact that everyone is told and expected to stand up and remove their hats for the national anthems, while they dim the lights and everything. Immediately proceeding this is the indigenous land acknowledgment where they turn all the lights back on, everyone sits back down and the acknowledgement is presented with the same importance and attention as a Pizza Pizza sponsorship. It was presented with such little importance I didn't even realize they were giving a land acknowledgment until my girlfriend mentioned it.

Some of you may roll your eyes, but the irony of using an indigenous land acknowledgement as a footnote to a ritualistic colonial anthem is just asinine. It bothered me enough that I made a point of not standing for the anthem the second time I attended. Something I've never done.

Scotiabank/Raptors need to do better than this.

Edit: As disappointed as I am about how poorly this sub has reacted to my post, I'd prefer if the mods didn't lock this thread, and allowed this fanbase to have a very real and necessary discourse about this stuff.

If you feel the same way I do, please reach out to Scotiabank Arena directly https://www.scotiabankarena.com/venue-information/contact-us

We also acknowledge that Mos Eisley is covered by Treaty 13 signed with multiple Tusken and Jawa bands.

Land acknowledgement question

It is common in my workplace to add an Indigenous or Treaty land acknowledgement before group presentations and meetings. I am in favor of acknowledging Canada's exploitative and colonialist past and present, but this specific practice looks and feels very performative to me... like empty air.

Is anyone aware of a reparations fund or other group that would accept a (small) donation from organizations when they perform these acknowledgements? Or does anyone else have a suggestion for making this new practice more meaningful... It really seems like lip service and "fake wokeness" otherwise.

Happy and open to hearing what others, especially First Nations/Metis/Inuit individuals think about this perspective.

Cornell Land Acknowledgement

Cornell has a land acknowledgement as part of their application instructions. I'm not sure if other schools do too, but it's the first time I've personally seen it on a school's application directions and thought it was neat.

"Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo_hΓ³:no' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo_hΓ³:no' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo_hΓ³:no' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo_hΓ³:no' people, past and present, to these lands and waters."

You’re Mocking the Concept of Land Acknowledgements by doing them 6-7 times a class

I think the concept is great, but having it said THAT many times during a class just mocks the concept.

As an indigenous person, I don’t really care that your presentation about Starbucks is on anyone’s traditional territory. I don’t get why that’s supposed to make me feel better.

So many students (and some staff) have taken this noble concept and turned it into a parody with how many times it gets said during some classes.

Yeesh.
