*I acknowledge that I am on the traditional territory of the Neutral
Confederacy, Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee. The University of Waterloo is
situated on the Haldimand Tract (1784), land promised to Six Nations
including six miles on each side of the Grand River, which is an occupied
territory. I have a responsibility to dismantle racism that I, as a
Canadian citizen, have perpetuated and benefited from. I continue to seek
understanding and to learn ways to engage decolonizing actions and
movements. I commit to learning about the 94 TRC commitments, UNDRIP, and
doing what I can to implement them.*
