Beyond Land Acknowledgments

• Attending the November session

• Led by ITRC Coordinator Michaela Allen Sanchez (Lipan Apache & Mexican-American), is an engaging and introspective workshop aimed at moving beyond traditional land acknowledgements towards fostering genuine support and allyship for Native students and communities at UCSD and beyond. 

  In this session, participants will delve into critical discussions about their own positionalities and explore departmental protocols to identify opportunities for growth and advocacy. Through interactive activities and guided reflections, participants will develop a deeper understanding of how to create tangible forms of support. By the end of the workshop, attendees will walk away equipped with actionable items to enact positive change for the betterment of Native communities within their spheres of influence.
