This is the first event of Just Transitions: Heritage Education for Climate Adaptation, organized by Canadian academic members of the Climate Heritage Network and the National Roundtable for Heritage Education. Subsequent events planned for Fall 2022 will showcase new educational models and involve students in learning through case studies.
Land acknowledgement for the ICOMOS University Forum: For those of us at Carleton University, the lead organization for the first JTHECA events, we recognize that we are fortunate to live and work in traditional never-ceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory and we acknowledge our responsibilities to Omamiwininiwag (Algonquin people) including to adhere to Algonquin cultural protocols. We also acknowledge that the national capital region of Ottawa-Gatineau –and by extension the university– profits from Algonquin stewardship over millenia of the broader landscape of the Kitchessippi watershed. It is this powerful sacred landscape that provided the settler colonial state of Canada with a rich landscape of resources and politics that is celebrated in multiple forms of heritage designation and ongoing projects of conservation. The project of reconsidering the heritage values of these places from Indigenous perspectives is only beginning.
