I would like to acknowledge that the land that I grow and reside on are the lands of the Treaty 4 Territory. This is the traditional territory of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and the homeland of the Métis Nation, the original caretakers and stewards of the lands and waters.

​

I acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and pay my respect to the First Nation and Métis ancestors of this place. As a fourth generation settler of French and Austrian decent, I am privileged to call these lands my home.
