什么是土地与劳动的承认，为什么要超越它?

什么是土地确认?

传统上, a land acknowledgment is a custom that dates back centuries in many Native Nations and communities as a way to both honor the stewardship of the land and recognize the people whose land they were on. 今天, land acknowledgments are used by Native Peoples and non-Natives to honor the Indigenous Peoples who are the original stewards of the lands on which we now live, 以及认识到历史上发生的位移和分离. 土地确认不以过去时存在, 或者历史背景:殖民主义是一个当前正在进行的过程, 我们需要建立我们目前参与的意识.

什么是劳动致谢书?

劳动承认的发展是为了承认殖民主义的历史, 奴隶制, 以及为美国奠定基础的移民. They are derived from the land acknowledgement concept as a way to educate and honor the sacrifices, 压迫, 以及黑人正在进行的斗争, 棕色（的）, 还有其他被奴役的群体, 用作自由和强制劳动, 并继续承担这些系统的成本. 比如土地确认, labor acknowledgements are not just about the 过去的 but also a 承诺 to improve and overcome the oppressive systems that still exist today.

皮马社区学院为什么以及如何承认土地和劳动力?

These principles have been part of the institution since its inception and continue to be found throughout its systems. 像所有的组织和人一样, 言语不是工作, thus 皮马社区学院 uses these acknowledgements to remind itself and the community of these values, and to promote ongoing 承诺s to action that improve and change oppressive and racist systems and behaviors.
它在公开活动之前分享土地所有权, 在重要材料中, 以及其他重要的聚会. 它鼓励其他人也使用土地和劳动报酬. 然而, 重要的是要注意，致谢时必须带着尊重, 尊严, 以及对他们意图的承诺.

超越土地和劳动承认

致谢有两个功能, they educate those who experience them about Native lands and its sovereignty as well as the history of 奴隶制 and 压迫 in building the United States. 他们也尊重这些人民和土地的牺牲、经历和管理.

但是，确认不是动作. 虽然导致这种历史背景的许多行为发生在过去, 土著居民仍在经历其后果, 黑色的, 棕色（的）, 和今天的其他人. 组织和个人无法改变过去, 但我们可以努力改变持续压迫的体制, 拥抱的偏见, 阻止个人实现美国梦.
