In this episode, we tour the Jiffy-Mart, the official digital bodega of the James Cave Instagram Feed.
Then we dive into a thoughtful exploration of land acknowledgments with Indigenous expert Heather Bruegl, who shares insights on creating meaningful statements that honor ancestral lands and their original stewards:
- Native-land.ca serves as a starting point for researching whose land you're on
- Tribal territories often overlapped, unlike modern state borders
- Research should include archives, libraries, land records, and the National Archives
- Always do preliminary work before approaching tribal nations for collaboration
- Land acknowledgments require months of research, reflection and action behind the words
- Heather shares the experience of returning to her ancestral homelands in New York
- Museums need better support systems for BIPOC workers presenting hard histories
- Even as an Indigenous person, Heather acknowledges her role in colonization
- A meaningful acknowledgment should feel like entering a form of ceremony
