I have included a list of readings, webinar recordings, and other resources written or sourced by Native American authors, or scholars who portray an accurate rendering of colonization, genocide and settler harms since "contact" of non-Indigenous to the Americas.

Native Land Digital honors the sovereignty of all Indigenous nations, their lands, and their waters. We recognize that these boundaries and territories are representations of the sacred.

We respect the rights of Indigenous data sovereignty, and we are committed to an ongoing process of collaboration, growth, and learning.

We work to update and replace information that is a continuation of trauma caused by theft, injustice, misinformation, and ignorance.

The map is a living document, informed by the contributions of Indigenous communities, Indigenous knowledge holders and their stories. It does not claim to represent official or legal boundaries. We encourage you to connect directly with the Indigenous nations to learn more about their territories and histories.

This is an honoring of Indigenous resilience past, present and future.

Land Acknowledgement is a reminder that we are all on Native lands. 

I recognize that I’m on Anishinaabe territory, and that a land acknowledgement does serve the purpose to remind non-natives of whose land they are on.
There is controversy of the hollowness of land acknowledgement in white circles and even in well-meaning BIPOC spaces.. If one is to offer a land acknowledgement and to do right, action and meaningful land rematriation need to follow. This also includes active and radical participation to end the genocide that is still ongoing to First Peoples in America.

Native Governance Center creates accessible, introductory-level resources on a variety of topics related to sovereignty, governance, and nation rebuilding. We encourage you to browse, download, and share our resources with your networks.
