Acknowledgments ‘educate people on the history and origins of lands’ occupied today: elected council
A Brantford, Ont., city councillor is being called out for his stance on land acknowledgments.
Coun. Greg Martin refused to give the land acknowledgment ahead of a committee meeting he led earlier this month, and previously said he viewed them as “virtue signalling.”
Six Nations of the Grand River’s elected council said in a statement this week that the council “strongly rejects” those comments and the statements are necessary.
