Prereqs
Common misconceptions
- Believing land acknowledgment is a one-time chant (it is an ongoing recognition recited routinely)
- Believing land acknowledgment alone is sufficient (it must accompany ongoing learning and action - lesson 14 thank-you letter is one such action)
- Believing the acknowledgment is generic and can be copied (it must name the SPECIFIC nation of the SPECIFIC place)
