Stephanie - this afternoon there was also a meeting of the Climate Action Council of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. There is a danger that this council will get no farther than consultation with people of color. Their process includes a social justice working group where this consultation is taking place. What can be done to push, persuade, inspire NYS to go further?

I have to hop off to pick up my kid. Thank you so much for this webinar and all the wonderful work you are each doing. It gives me hope for the future and I am eager to support and partner to make this vision a reality. I look forward to hearing the rest of the presentation through the recording. Be well friends.

Thanks for joining us Dana

Seconding @Liz Henderson’s’ comment/query.

We can share these notes at the end as well.

Saving Liz’s question for the end. Thank you!

Your so welcome!

https://native-land.ca/

Can you give some suggestions about appropriate steps people can take?

Really interesting questions Tori

Thank you all so very much for this amazing program. I, too, need to excuse myself, but I look forward to the recording. All my gratitude…

How does one begin to research the land on which we reside to understand its indigenous history and the people who were/are of or belonging to the land? that is, beyond the native-land.ca website Archives in the area do not capture this history, so where does a person start? I struggle with how to articulate this.

Is there any way to share the notes in the chat after the program? Thank you!

Is the plaque at the entrance of the peace Pagoda in Grafton NY a land acknowledgment?

Yes! Thanks Suzzanna

That’s wonderful, Shea, thank you!

So much information shared here ...!

Thanks!

You can copy and save the chat!

what are your thoughts on land trust led by the city - federal gov . institutions taking over

Gonandagan in Victor, NY has great resources

Is there any interest in reviving/spreading indigenous agricultural practices, or is the focus mostly on restoring lands

I just attended an aboriginal youth virtual circle two weeks ago, the non-indigenous youth Asturians did told me that the land acknowledgement is still finding its way to AU

thank you!
