Land Acknowledgement:
As I am writing this, my tax dollars are aiding and abetting the Indigenous eradication project in Palestine of the Palestinian people. Land acknowledgement and scars, traumas, and violence related to colonialism is not a far away place. It is here and it is now. It is our work — as scholars, doctors, practitioners, artists, educators, care givers, siblings, friends, and lovers — to activate, organize, advocate. It is our work to name what wants to be forgotten, discarded, and reappropriated.
In Germany, some chose to acknowledge the germanic tribes on the land in which my two feet are planted. However, the Semitones, Burgundians, Hevelli, and Sprevane participated in feudalism which later extended to colonialization. To do so, is to in Philip J. Deloris’ words “play Indian” or legitimize “pretendians”. To uplift feudalists is antithetical to a decolonial framework. That is to say, this is not the same struggle. The idea of First Nations in Germany propagated notions of supremacy and later led to acts of genocide in name of “protect(ing) the land”. I refuse to perpetuate this narrative. Thus, the First Nations of Germany cannot be equated and recognized in the same ways that the First Nations and Ancestors of Turtle Island.
In the same breath, I am forever in debt to the lands and waterways and beings that shaped me, namely, on Mohican, Osage, and Muskogee Creek Territories. This land acknowledgement does not serve to perpetuate the feel good, pat on the back virtue signal that so many left-leaning white dominated spaces perpetuate. It is a call-to-action, a call to care, and a desire to move beyond conversation. It is a commitment to this ongoing work.

Welcome to Poetry Walks! A podcast that brings poems from our hearts to your ears. Center yourself through imaginative and calming poems as Arlo guides you through the city.

Land Acknowledgement:
The land acknowledgement has been adapted from teachers at the Goethe Institute in so called Berlin.
We acknowledge the ancestral and traditional territories of the Semnones, Burgundians, Hevelli and Sprevane tribes who were the original Germanic and Slavic inhabitants of the lands which we currently call Berlin.
We recognize that Berlin has been and continues to be the home of many different peoples from around the world.
At the same time, we recognized that not all peoples have been welcomed on the land and that acts of genocide have been perpetuated in the name of protecting the land.
We seek to respect the land, the diversity of peoples, and the complex histories of Berlin as we engage in Future Monuments.
