CAA Club Group – Land Acknowledgement Policy

  • Home
  • CAA Club Group – Land Acknowledgement Policy

Project Overview

  • Client: CAA Club Group (CCG)
  • Project Location: Ontario, Canada
  • Start Date: 2021
  • End Date: 2021

As part of its commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #92, CAA Club Group (CCG) sought to develop a corporate Land Acknowledgement Policy that accurately reflects Indigenous histories, relationships to the land, and cultural protocols.

Land acknowledgments are a meaningful act of reconciliation, but they must be carefully crafted to ensure that they honor Indigenous voices rather than being performative statements. CCG understood this responsibility and engaged Three Sisters Consulting to review, validate, and enhance the policy, ensuring it was historically accurate, culturally sensitive, and linguistically precise.

Scope of Work & Key Deliverables
  • Policy Review & Validation: Assessed the policy for historical and cultural accuracy.
  • Community Collaboration: Engaged Indigenous communities and governments for input.
  • Terminology & Pronunciation Guidance: Provided linguistic and cultural guidance on appropriate land acknowledgment practices.
  • Final Policy Refinement: Ensured that the policy aligned with Indigenous perspectives and reconciliation efforts.
Project Outcome
The finalized Land Acknowledgement Policy was successfully integrated into CCG’s corporate framework, reinforcing its commitment to reconciliation and fostering meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities. CCG employees were also provided with guidance materials and training to ensure that land acknowledgments were delivered with respect, accuracy, and authenticity.

Sarah Hopkins, our Matriarch, is Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenape who were displaced from their homeland of Lenapehoking (New York City) to Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation) in southwestern Ontario. Sarah is a Day School survivor who was raised by her Mother, who taught her the importance of standing up for what you believe; her Grandmother, a residential school survivor; and her Great-Grandmother, who spoke only Lenape. With the support of her family, Sarah founded Three Sisters Consulting in 2018, a company dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous Peoples and helping them achieve business, professional, and personal success. Sarah is an active member of her community; she served as an Elected member of Council for her Nation, Treasurer and Board Member for her tribal council, and current Board Member for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Lambton Kent chapter. She has worked with not-for-profits, governments, and corporations on a variety of topics including Indigenous legal systems, economic development, mining initiatives, Impact Benefit Assessments, negotiations, and Indigenous engagement impacting legislation. When she is not working, you can find Sarah looking for opportunities to share space with our extended community across Turtle Island.
