Land Acknowledgment:
This event takes place on the traditional territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka. The island called "Montreal" is known as Tiotia:ke in the language of the Kanien'kehá:ka, and it has historically been a meeting place for other Indigenous nations who are a part of the Haudenosaunee confederacy. For those of us at QPIRG, acknowledging the keepers of these territories is part of a process of reminding ourselves that our lives are only possible because of the land that we live on, and that most of us benefit from these territories as settlers, and it is also about reminding ourselves of how deeply important it is that our work, as a social-justice organization, be deeply and profoundly informed by the context of colonization. We would encourage everyone to seek out more spaces for learning and understanding the history of these territories
