Canada’s First Nations are divided over whether land acknowledgements are useful in achieving reconciliation, with more than 40 per cent saying such pronouncements have “lost their meaning,” according to an exclusive poll.
In a new Postmedia-Leger survey of 503 Indigenous people, 41 per cent of respondents said land acknowledgements have become overused, while 47 per cent said they remain an important way to help First Nations mend relations with non-Indigenous people. The remaining 12 per cent said they were not sure either way.
