Special recognition goes to St. Olaf Associate Professor of English Joan Hepburn, who wrote the land acknowledgment that the task force adopted and these institutions are now using.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do we provide this Statement?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cTo acknowledge the traditional territory is to recognize its longer history, reaching beyond colonization and the establishment of European colonies, as well as its significance for the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this territory, and whose practices and spiritualities were tied to the land and continue to develop in relationship to the land and its other inhabitants today.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/toolkit\/communications\/acknowledgment-of-traditional-territory\">UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid__col -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid, .site-grid__wrapper -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- site-section__content -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<p><!-- end-migrated-from-panel-builder --><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2110,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3799","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P8Im76-Zh","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2110"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3799"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5590,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3799\/revisions\/5590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/community-belonging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
