Land Acknowledgement

The Converge Foundation does not take the task of creating a land acknowledgement lightly.  We are guided by the Native Governance Center’s article on “Beyond Land Acknowledgement: A Guide”¹. We are guided by Damian Chase-Begay’s article² on Native land acknowledgements.  We are guided by Leonard Traveller’s comments³ addressing a need “to come together and move forward”.  To that end, we are actively seeking cultural leaders to join us in creating a land acknowledgement that meets the high bar set before us. It does not end there. We are also seeking assistance in creating an action plan highlighting the concrete steps The Converge Foundation can take to support Indigenous communities within the scope of its mission. This plan will include information and research on the land, but it will primarily focus on specific, impactful actions we can take.
