honouring the land

As a guest on Coast Salish Territory for over 30 years, I am thankful to recognize the traditional lands of the Kalapuya, Multnomah and Clackamas, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde who sustained me and gave me community and life before travelling north to colonial ‘Canada’. As a descendant of the Cocas people of Jalisco and the Rarámuri people of Chihuahua, Mexico, and of the Westphalian people of modern day Germany, the ties and relationship to the land are what bring us life, history, and memory.

Today, my commitment, as an ally and an uninvited guest on the unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) People, the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, is to honour their voices, land, language, traditions and culture. We must integrate the Truth and Reconciliation Act's calls to action into the mindset and heart of our daily life, work and community development. May we uphold our collective liberation unto reconciliation - recognizing that all people are connected and deserve to be honoured, remembered and respected.
