Land and Waters Acknowledgment

I am currently learning and reflecting on the unceded lands and waters of where I live and work. I am in the process of writing a personal land and waters acknowledgment and invite accountability, correction, and guidance as I deepen my understanding. I am not Indigenous.

I am anchored by the memory of my childhood in the prairie provinces. In particular, I have many fond memories of resting on crunchy grass and feeling enveloped by the wide open sky. I remember the roar, depth, and speed of what are known as the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers.
