New Zealand
In New Zealand, land acknowledgments recognize the indigenous Māori people. Māori words are commonly used in greetings of public speakers, acknowledgments of publications, and legislation to recognize their presence. Usage of Māori place names before English place names similarly acknowledges Māori relations with the place. In 2022, Te Pati Māori delivered a petition with 70,000 signatures to the New Zealand Parliament which called to change the country's official name to its Māori name, Aotearoa.
