I acknowledge the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories throughout British Columbia, Canada, where I have the privilege to live, work and play. This includes the territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich) Peoples, and the lək̓ʷəŋən (lekwungen) and the Xwsepsum of the Songhees and Esquimalt families where I currently reside.
I am also grateful for the hospitality that I have received from the Anishinaabe, the Miꞌkmaq, the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Métis, and the Chippewa in whose respective territories I have also spent significant time.
My commitment to celebrating the diversity and richness of Indigenous cultures on Turtle Island is based in gratitude, honour and respect through the incorporation of Indigenous epistemologies and understandings, supporting decolonization, reconciliation, and Indigenization.
We are all treaty people; settlers, immigrants, or newcomers. I stand in support of the Calls to Action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report.
