立博体育官网土地认证书

什么是土地确认书? 

A Land Acknowledgment is a formal statement that recognizes and respects Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of this land and the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories.

我们为什么要承认土地?

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honoring the Indigenous People who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land, 并试图了解你在那段历史中的位置. 土地确认在过去时态中不存在, 或者历史背景:殖民主义是一个当前正在进行的过程, 我们需要建立我们目前参与的意识. 同样值得注意的是,承认土地是土著议定书.

土地确认是如何建立的

Ariel view of campus

There has been interest in creating a University of Hartford land acknowledgement statement for quite some time, starting with a Faculty Learning Community and most recently a group of faculty, staff, 以及在2021-2022学年聚集在一起的学生. 在金山保古塞特的指导下,放大原住民的声音” Working Group crafted an initiative including a mission statement, goals, and action items.

经总统内阁批准后, 大学将于周一启动土地承认计划, October 10, 2022, Indigenous People's Day, along with the University community and representatives from the Golden Hill Paugussett and other local tribes.

多样性办公室也提供了支持, Equity, 及社区参与, 大学跨学科研究项目, the Hartt School, 以及蒙台梭利研究中心.

In alignment with the University of Hartford strategic goal to foster a campus climate of equity, inclusion, and belonging, the Office of Diversity, Equity, 及社区参与 recognizes that truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and understanding across historical barriers of heritage and differences.

Departments, student organizations, and other groups holding events and gatherings on the University of Hartford campus are encouraged to engage with the 立博体育官网土地认证书 Statement that appears below, and to use it in a manner that is reflective of the intentions with which it is offered — acknowledging the history of this region and committing to amplifying the voices of the tribes upon whose ancestral lands our University sits.

The Land Acknowledgement Statement (full or abbreviated version) can be included in written correspondence (for example, 电子邮件签名或作为课程大纲的一部分), read aloud in class at the beginning of the semester or at other University events, 和/或由任何人在大学财产上分发.

There are no requirements for the use of the land acknowledgment statement at events and gatherings, in materials, on course syllabi, 或其他大学文件. 当行使使用土地确认声明的选择权时, it should be in a manner that is respectful of the Indigenous Peoples it honors.

It is important that this be the only Land Acknowledgement used at the University of Hartford. A great deal of care, effort, and research went into drafting our formal land acknowledgment statement to ensure its accuracy, including consultation with Clan Mother Shoran Waupatukuay Piper of the Golden Hill Paugussett.
