My home city, Winnipeg, sits on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, and Dakota peoples and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I am grateful to live and work on Treaty One Territory, and to have access to water from Shoal Lake #40 First Nation and hydroelectricity generated on the lands of many Indigenous communities in Northern Manitoba. As a descendant of refugees and immigrants who settled on Indigenous lands, I commit to challenging anti-Indigenous racism and supporting the work and leadership of Indigenous communities.
