I am a settler on the traditional territories of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Huron-Wendat Haudenosaunee. Gender-based violence is one form of colonial violence used to marginalize and dispossess Indigenous peoples from their culture, lands and waters. It continues to be used to this day to marginalize and dispossess Indigenous peoples from their culture, community, lands and waters. I am committed to addressing this by actively incorporating into my work the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action as well as the Call for Justice For Everyone within the Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
