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.
Is it a handfasting or other type of pagan ceremony? Asking for the blessings of the local spirits is good but you don't need to call them by name.
If you're just trying to acknowledge the fact that you're standing on stolen land I think it will be awkward in a wedding no matter how you say it.
