I am a cis white woman living on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. This land is part of the Dish with One Spoon territory, a treaty between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (aka. The Six Nations Confederacy), the Anishinaabek and allied nations, to peaceably share and care for this land, its waters, and all of the biodiversity in the Great Lakes region. As a settler on this land, I am striving to take responsibility for honouring this treaty. As someone who benefits from historical and current colonization & white supremacy, I am working to hold that power with integrity and accountability. I am committed to ongoing learning, organizing, and redistribution of my resources (through discounted sessions for Black, Indigenous and trans folks, and redistribution of my personal income).
