Land acknowledgments, or statements in which planners, residents or organizations recognize that the land they exist and operate on originally belonged to Indigenous nations, have become increasingly common in recent years. New research from the University of Kansas has found that the landback movement, in which land is returned to its original occupants, has grown rapidly across the country as well.
