I work and reside on Treaty 13 territory which is the home of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Ojibwe, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples. We're subject to the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. This is a reminder that we are all treaty partners—my small action call to continue recognizing our commitments to each other, especially as we witness these agreements be continually challenged by settler institutions and systems of white supremacy. It is not to commemorate the past, but to identify our dedication to the present and future. It is my priority to ensure that these values thrive throughout my collaborative practice.
