My home and workplace is situated in ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan) on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting ground and home for many Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibwe, Saulteaux, and Inuit. I am mindful of my responsibility to know the truth about the harm that was and continues to be caused to Indigenous peoples and commit to moving forward in partnership, in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
