• I want to acknowledge and honour the indigenous lands where I work, play, create, and live, the traditional land referred to as Treaty 6 Territory encompassing the traditional territories of numerous First Nations, including the Cree and homeland of the Métis Nation. I pay respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live in this territory and whose culture, practices and spirituality are tied to this land. I acknowledge our settler ancestry and the colonization that created oppression, suffering, and hardship for Indigenous Peoples for many generations.
