I live in Ottawa, ON which is located on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and Anishinaabeg peoples. I want to emphasize not only the importance of recognizing the traditional owners of this land but also the essential nature of uplifting Indigenous voices, and working with our communities towards reconciliation that is based in truth, dignity and respect.
