The best practice for all McGill events (including workshops) is to begin with an acknowledgement of the traditional territory.
Consider the following as a base tempalte for your land acknowledgement, reflect on your own experiences and the respect that this acknowledgement provides and customize it to suit your workshop and content as you see fit.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we meet today.
L’Université McGill est sur un emplacement qui a longtemps servi de lieu de rencontre et d’échange entre les peuples autochtones, y compris les nations Haudenosaunee et Anishinabeg. McGill honore, reconnaît et respecte ces nations à titre d’intendant traditionnel des terres et de l’eau sur lesquelles nous nous réunissions aujourd’hui.
