Without giving too much detail, what are your thoughts on including a short land acknowledgement at the start of a wedding ceremony (a white couple)?

I've done research into the ancestral lands that the ceremony will be held in, but I'm wondering if I should really be communicating with a local tribal leader before developing the language.

It would only be a few sentences, so I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it. Thanks.

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback. Won't be including an acknowledgement.

    Bothering local tribe seems excessive tbh, unless they perform ceremony. Donate to their struggles, say couple of sentences and chill :shrug-outta-hecks: but I don’t know complete settler dynamics
