The ELCA American Indian Alaska Native Tribal Nations desk has provided a helpful guide to practicing land acknowledgments. It includes examples of statements that you can speak at the beginning of every worship service, print at the top of worship bulletins, use to create outdoor signage and more. Including such acknowledgments follows our commitment as a church as part of “A Declaration of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America to American Indian and Alaska Native People.”
