“After a ‘land acknowledgement’ at our school this year, I took one of my students' water bottles and walked to the front of the class.

I then acknowledged that it was their water bottle and in the spirit of reconciliation, I felt it important to acknowledge that it was theirs as that would help heal 'all of us' for my behaviour. I then placed it on my desk.

They looked at me and I asked them what was wrong. They told me they wanted their water bottle back.”
