About
Land Acknowledgments are a traditional custom in many Native communities and nations and have served as a means of paying respect to the inhabitants of the land since time immemorial. These days, American communities are creating these public ceremonies to represent milestones on the journey of Relationship-building, Healing & Reconciliation. In this 3-hour workshop, Rev. Houston R. Cypress, a Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer Artist and Environmentalist from the Otter Clan of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, will discuss how to go beyond land acknowledgment into action. Using movement, music, cinema, and text, Cypress will guide participants through a process of crafting an interdisciplinary expression of land acknowledgment for the lands on which they live.
