She will discuss how we as individuals and as a community can engage more deeply with the land we live on through the Indigenous practice of land acknowledgment. In a second session, Judy Dow will lead us here in Richmond in a similar exercise of pride and gratitude. We are planning that session (date to be determined), in collaboration with Radiate Art Space and Richmond Racial Equity.
