The Land Acknowledgement confronts the erasure of Indigenous and Black histories from U.S. narratives, framed in a form that mimics institutional authority—a placard, decree, or museum text—yet subverts it with blunt truth-telling about land theft, genocide, and racial terror. Its words carry weight, refusing euphemism, demanding permanence equal to the monuments of settler triumphs. Authored collaboratively by Welana Fields Quetoh (Osage/Muscogee/Cherokee Nations), Phetote Mshairi (Black poet, activist), and artist Shelby Head (white artist, activist), it resists tokenistic land acknowledgments by grounding itself in lived experience and intertwined histories of dispossession. The reference to Greenwood (Black Wall Street) links Indigenous land theft to anti-Black violence, exposing how colonial and racial terror co-construct U.S. power. The stark, unadorned frame forces attention to the text, a fragile yet monumental act of memory and demand for accountability, urging truth-telling and repair over sanitized history.
