  • Where to access: at usdac.us/nativeland or by following this link.
  • Time needed: 10+ minutes
  • What it's about:  How and why to practice land acknowledgment of the traditional Indigenous inhabitants of the land on which you stand.
  • Discussion questions: 
    • What did you learn from reading the call and watching the #HonorNativeLand video? What surprised you? What challenged your thinking?
    • What is land acknowledgement? Why introduce the practice of land acknowledgement?
    • Imagine this practice widely adopted: imagine cultural venues, classrooms, conference settings, places of worship, sports stadiums, and town halls, acknowledging traditional lands. What does that world look like? How does the idea make you feel?
  • Further Action:
    • Download and read the #HonorNativeLand Guide
    • Identify the traditional inhabitants of the land you are on and develop your own land acknowledgement. https://native-land.ca provides a good starting place.
    • Print, customize, and post #HonorNativeLand art.
    • Share the #HonorNativeLand Guide and call others in your network to action.
    • Build relationships: Find out if there are active Native groups or organizations in or near your community. Learn about their
      work and see how you can support them.

Social Justice Action Item: Read the American Theatre Magazine Article 'Developing Trans Roles for the Theatre,' by Regina Victor.

Read the American Theatre Magazine Article 'Developing Trans Roles for the Theatre,' by Regina Victor.
  • Where to read: at AmericanTheatre.org or by following this link.
  • Time needed: 10 minutes
  • What it's about: Director Regina Victor interviews 4 TGNC (Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming) performers on their most positive and challenging work experiences, when it comes to discussing gender, on and off the stage. 
  • Discussion questions: 
    • What did you learn from reading this article? What surprised you? What challenged your thinking?
    • Parker Guidry argues that the only way to get beyond 'making a statement' by having a TGNC performer in a show is to make it a more common practice. How can you begin the conversation at home that normalizes this practice? How can you begin it in your workplace? Amongst your friends? Family?
    • At the end of the article is a list of things to consider when asking a TGNC performer to work for your company. What can you add to this list? How can you implement these practices into your workplace, even if you don't work in theatre?
