Importance of Land Acknowledgment

Students in Ms. Le’s Grade 2/3 Blended Learning class have been learning about Indigenous groups across Canada. Part of their learning included studying the Pacific Coast First Nations and understanding the importance behind the land acknowledgment. Land acknowledgments are an authentic way to recognize and give thanks to the traditional First Nations who have protected these lands for generations. It is also a way to show respect for the land in which we live, work, and play.
