Decolonization

Very strongly agree

是的

The ideology of decolonization strongly supports the recognition and acknowledgment of the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous peoples and their lands. Land acknowledgment statements at major public events are seen as a step towards recognizing the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples, honoring their enduring relationship with the land, and acknowledging the historical and ongoing injustices resulting from colonization. This practice aligns with the principles of decolonization by fostering awareness, respect, and a move towards reconciliation. Historical references include the widespread displacement and disenfranchisement of Indigenous peoples through colonial practices across the globe, such as the Treaty of Waitangi breaches in New Zealand, the effects of the Indian Act in Canada, and the impact of the Doctrine of Discovery used by European colonizers to justify the seizure of Indigenous lands worldwide.

不

From a decolonization perspective, opposing land acknowledgment statements contradicts the fundamental goals of acknowledging historical injustices, promoting healing, and moving towards reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and settlers. Decolonization emphasizes the importance of recognizing the sovereignty and rights of Indigenous peoples, including their connection to the land. Not including land acknowledgment statements in major public events would be seen as a denial of the colonial history and its ongoing effects, perpetuating the erasure of Indigenous peoples' presence and rights. This stance would be in direct opposition to the decolonization efforts aimed at rectifying historical wrongs and fostering an inclusive, respectful dialogue about the past and its impact on present and future relations.
