Land Acknowledgement and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada

On this week’s first shortie summer, Liz and Dakota talk New News: the heat dome across Western Canada.  Then, they dive into what is a land acknowledgement, and why they are important, finishing up with a look at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, what it is, and why everyone should read it.
