Land Acknowledgement

We recognize and honour this land the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland), as the ancestral homeland of the Beothuk, and unceded traditional territory of the Mi'kmaq.  We also acknowledge and honour Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu and the Inuit.

Further, we acknowledge that recognition is not enough. Advocating for the rights of trans, gender diverse, and Two-Spirit people also means pushing back against the harm that colonialism has done and continues to do to Indigenous peoples. Trans and Two-Spirit Indigenous people are leaders in social justice movements, here and around the world. We commit to learning, listening, and fighting alongside Indigenous communities in the struggle towards true reconciliation.
