Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the land upon which much of Kapisanan’s work takes place: the traditional territories of the Mississaugas, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Acknowledging our presence on Turtle Island as racialized settlers and our histories as colonized peoples, we affirm Indigenous nationhood and ground our work in the values of decolonization. We are grateful to do our creative work on this land, the present-day home to numerous Indigenous nations. We respect the continued connections to the past, present, and future in forging decolonial relations with Indigenous nations, other diasporic people, and settlers within Canada, the Philippines, and beyond.
