We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The blog also invites submissions on class-based inequality and the attack on democratic institutions and values, and is particularly interested in communicating research and commentary on the social and structural conditions blocking inclusive, equitable outcomes. The CHBE Blog publishes short, accessible essays accountable to the Centre’s mandate of promoting social justice. We welcome contributions from researchers of all fields as well as students, activists, and practitioners wishing to share their perspectives and showcase their work.
