TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEGEMENT

I am grateful for the opportunity to live and work on Treaty 1 territory, the ancestral territory of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis.

My origins are from Abya Yala, a term originating from the Guna people from the Darien Gap region that is widely used by Indigenous communities to describe the greater American continent. Use of the term contributes to a movement to decolonize, resist and replace colonial names like "America" (a term widely used by Latinx people to refer to all of the Americas) and "Latin America."
