Description
Summary:The problem of colonization in Canada and the relationship with indigenous peoples is central. The campuses at the University of Manitoba, Canada, are located in the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Dene peoples and in the territory of the Métis Nation. In view of this fact, the author reflects on the induction: How, as a colonist, researcher and teacher, do I offer significant territorial recognition when I am so clearly situated in – and benefit from – stolen land? In this way, the author re-visits the significance of territorial acknowledgment (of living on the original lands of Indigenous peoples) in teaching, probing autobiographically the meanings that can breathe life to acts of acknowledging.

Ante este hecho, el autor reflexiona sobre la cuestión: ¿Cómo, como colona, investigadora y docente, ofrezco un reconocimiento territorial significativo cuando estoy tan claramente situado en – y me beneficio – de tierras robadas? De esta forma, el autor revisa el significado del reconocimiento territorial (de vivir en las tierras originarias de los pueblos indígenas) en la docencia, indagando autobiográficamente los significados que pueden dar vida a los actos de reconocimiento.
