I heard Candice Wilson a Lummi and Tribal Policy Director for the WA State Department of Health, say that land acknowledgments must be informed, genuine and meaningful. I don't believe that rote readings of land acknowledgments are useful or meaningful in the context of a city council meeting. It is merely virtue signaling. Instead, opportunities should be made for collaboration between cities and local tribes for the important land stewardship issues that face us today.
