Look up your location on Native Land.
Land acknowledgements have become commonplace for many large gatherings, events, and presentations. While we may already know which native lands our workplaces and institutions are located, our homes and remote working locations are also situated on traditional lands and territories.
Instructions
- Go to the Native-Land map.
- Use the search bar on the left side to find your address or other location.
- Use the switches above the search bar to find out
- Whose territories the land belongs to.
- What languages the people spoke.
- Whether there were any treaties made about that land.
- If there are no treaties, then you are looking at unceded land.
- Read through the Teacher’s Guide [PDF].
- Take a look at the resources to the right, and write your own personal land acknowledgement.

After you have found your location on Native Land, tweet out your land acknowledgement using the hashtag #HonouringIndigenousWriters.
