This presentation addresses recent activities at Queens College and Queensborough Community College (QCC) which are focused on faculty, student and community engagement around understanding and acknowledging Indigenious survivance. The presenters take the living Land Acknowledgements and engagement with shared authority as it has been practiced in collaboration with the Kupferberg Holocaust Center at QCC as two starting points towards allyship relationships and a centering of Indigenous Knowledge at CUNY. Through this presentation we hope to connect and co-ordinate with other colleagues working on decolonial projects within the CUNY community by sharing information, ideas and resources.
