Land Acknowledgements: Purpose, Practices and Perspectives 

River Management Roundtable 

Chances are you’ve either seen or heard of native land acknowledgements, and you may have incorporated them into your presentations, websites, social media, or events on your river. Perhaps you feel their use represents moral exhibitionism. In this Roundtable, we will delve deeper into the importance of land acknowledgements and best practices, as well as sharing examples on rivers. We invite your questions and perspectives. Wherever you're at on your journey with native acknowledgements, we hope you'll join us to learn more!

We’re excited and grateful to be joined by our presenters, who has led land acknowledgement workshops with the USDA Forest Service, the National Wilderness Skills Institute and other organizations over the last few years:

About RMS River Management Roundtables

Each month, the River Management Society hosts virtual conversations with professional river, greenway, and water trails leaders, planners, and managers whose community, region, state and federal river will benefit from the experiences of peer-to-peer sharing. Our goal is to facilitate an open forum to support your work managing rivers. We work together to tackle common issues by asking questions, sharing solutions and building comradery.
