As an educator, I acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Dakota, Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, and Métis peoples, and is situated on Treaties 1 and 2 lands. I recognize the deep and enduring connection to Indigenous peoples have to this land, their histories, and cultures.
This acknowledgment is not just a formality but a commitment to reconciliation, learning, and respect. It reminds us of the need to honor Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and voices in our educational spaces. Together, we strive to build a more inclusive and equitable future for all
