Abstract

The problem of colonization in Canada and the relationship with indigenous peoples is central. The campuses at the University of Manitoba, Canada, are located in the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Dene peoples and in the territory of the Métis Nation. In view of this fact, the author reflects on the induction: How, as a colonist, researcher and teacher, do I offer significant territorial recognition when I am so clearly situated in – and benefit from – stolen land? In this way, the author re-visits the significance of territorial acknowledgment (of living on the original lands of Indigenous peoples) in teaching, probing autobiographically the meanings that can breathe life to acts of acknowledging.
