LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
While this event is happening virtually, the EDRSC is based in Tiohti谩:ke, colonially known as Montreal. Therefore, we must acknowledge that this entire island is located on unceded and unsurrendered Indigenous land. The Kanien鈥檏eh谩:ka Nation are recognized as the custodians of the land and water on which we gather today. Tiohti谩:ke has historically been an important meeting place for different Indigenous nations. We must recognize the unique and disproportionate hardships Indigenous people have faced and continue to face as a result of colonialism. It is important to not only acknowledge these hardships but to also actively resist colonialism and neo-colonialism in the diversity of forms they take, as we stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. We encourage settlers to acknowledge their privilege and question how they are working to be anti-oppressive every day.
