WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS?? Let's jump right in..... Are organizations simply stating that they are operating on Native Land and then just going about their days like it's business as usual? Are they actually doing anything to support or pay back First Nations communities for the land on which they are profiting/gaining/progressing as a non-First Nation community? It's like waking up and declaring that your house in built on First Nation land, and then sipping your Starbucks coffee and then going about your day. Meanwhile First Nations communities continue to fall forgotten and neglected. Land acknowledgements are nice and all, but it really shouldn't be all that we do to show First Nations communities that we are actually trying to reconcile. Orange shirts and morning workplace mantras don't create change. Continuing with progressive actions toward partnerships and decision making processes is the only real way to reconcile with our First Nations communities. I don't think there is a First Nation community in the world that goes to bed feeling better about their situation just because we said our Land Acknowledgements at work today. I mean, how many times will you listen to someone say they're sorry without doing anything real to show it, before you stop believing them? Just a thought. Hashtag who are we fooling? Hashtag we can do better.

My reflection on year one of my heritage-focused public engagement project with Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy is up! To end the year, I dove into the purpose of this project, the value of using the lens of heritage, and the challenges to a three time frame approach where past, present, and future can create synergy around a community space. https://lnkd.in/gMnCYX-4

Join me at the Event "Where is the Meal? Community Building with Meals" "Where is the Meal?" is a series of events responding to the question of how meals relate to place, and its cultural, political, technological and legal conditions. This event explores temporal and situative community building: How do meals come to be in places that are neither private nor commercial? What are the tensions that emerge when running a community kitchen, allotment or garden in a cultural or educational institution? For more details: https://lnkd.in/eDTdTySa

#yourcoachjulieruppfelice For National Lighthouse Day: BE THE LIGHT HOUSE By Julie Rupp Felice “Be the lighthouse" is a powerful reminder to be a source of guidance, hope, and light in the lives of others. Just as a lighthouse shines its light to navigate ships through treacherous waters, we can be a beacon of support and inspiration for those around us. Here are some inspirations based on this idea: - "Shine your light to help others find their way." - "Be a source of hope in the darkness." - "Guide others with your wisdom and experience." - "Be a safe haven for those seeking refuge." - "Illuminate the path for others with your kindness and compassion." Remember, being a lighthouse is not about being a rescuer, but about being a steady presence that helps others navigate their own journeys.
