We acknowledge that we live and work on stolen lands, taken from Indigenous peoples across the Americas, Canada, and beyond through colonization, genocide, and systemic oppression. This acknowledgment is not symbolic; it is a call to action. The lands we reside on hold the histories, cultures, and spiritual connections of their original stewards, who continue to resist erasure and fight for sovereignty, reparations, and justice.

We recognize and honor the Indigenous peoples of what is now called Canada, who have been displaced, oppressed, and denied sovereignty while continuing to protect the land, water, and their traditions. From the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, to the Lenape, Tsalaguwetiyi (Cherokee), Lakota, Diné (Navajo), and countless others in what is now called the United States, these are lands built on unrelenting Indigenous resistance and care.

This acknowledgment extends to lands beyond continental North America, including the urgent calls for sovereignty and land back movements in places like Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Hawai’i, which remain impacted by the violent legacies of settler colonialism, imperialism, and extractive capitalism. Puerto Rico, still under colonial control, fights for self-determination and an end to exploitative practices. Haiti, the first free Black republic, endures centuries of punitive economic sanctions and neo-colonial interventions for daring to reject enslavement. Hawai’i, illegally annexed, continues its fight for land, language, and cultural preservation.

This acknowledgment challenges us to confront the global legacy of colonial violence and understand how our work, relationships, and lives perpetuate or disrupt these systems. It requires more than words—it demands action, including supporting land back movements, advocating for sovereignty, reparations, and redistribution of resources, and resisting colonial structures in all forms.
