Indigenous land acknowledgments are everywhere.
After taking hold on college campuses, they are recited with growing frequency at schools, sporting events and church services.
They are added as signatures at the end of emails. They are being posted on the websites of museums, libraries, and other institutions as the era of racial reckoning and social justice that has followed the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement and the killing of George Floyd continues to evolve.
They are even yelled at concerts, as reggae artist Nattali Rize did during a recent show in Phoenix, drawing loud applause.
Some of the statements are as brief as a single sentence.
