In this episode of the #CallHerAuntyPodcast, Grace & Qua give a review of treaty rights and the purpose of a land acknowledgement as they perceive it.

The report included calls to action for different industries and then began the land acknowledgement statements at hockey games and other settings where it is deemed shallow.
