Honor Native Lands: A Guide and Call to Acknowledgement
US DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURE
"We launch this guide in the lead-up to Indigenous People’s Day 2017, when each of us is free to choose whether to accept and perpetuate a distorted history or stand for truth and reconciliation grounded in acknowledgment. The time is long overdue for everyone to open all public events and gatherings with acknowledgment of the traditional Native inhabitants of the land. Please help to spread this guide, encouraging your colleagues, neighbors, officials, and institutions to adopt this practice as well."
Committee Recommendations
JOHN EVANS REPORT
"The Sand Creek Massacre and many other historic and contemporary indigenous massacres and land thefts exemplify an egregious injustice that sacrificed hundreds of lives for the sake of western expansion, consumption, and greed. It is from these destructive forces that we all must heal. Healing is not just for indigenous people and the descendants of genocide but for all people. We all need to heal and we need each other to do so. In this spirit of healing we make the following recommendations."
A Self-Assessment
NATIVE GOVERNANCE CENTER
"We’ve outlined a few starting points for carrying out a self-assessment to consider the impact of your actions. We encourage you to revisit these questions and also devise additional questions for yourself throughout your journey to work in solidarity with Native nations."
