 There is a movement at 
 land grant and other universities to offer 
 land acknowledgements. Land acknowledgements 
 are statements intended to affirm and honor Indigenous 
 histories and relational connections 
 to land and sovereignty. As these statements 
 grow in popularity, it becomes important to 
 consider what these statements mean within the 
 context of the contemporary land grant system. 
 This presentation will use the context of 
 MSU's land grant identity to delve into the 
 policy, history and meaning behind land acknowledgements 
 and tangible ways to put these statements 
 into action. \n\n
