Land Acknowledgement & Statement of Settler Accountability

With humility and and respect, I acknowledge that I am a guest on the land in which I live and work; the unceded territory of the Anishnaabe, Mississauga and Haudenosaunee peoples. I acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississauga of the New Credit First Nation. This territory is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

As an uninvited settler, I am acutely aware of my accountability to the Indigenous peoples of this territory and I am committed to decentering oppressive and colonial practices within myself and my work. Additionally, I am committed to following the calls for action on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
