Statement of Settlerhood / Land Acknowledgement

The devastating impacts of European colonization and Western imperialism pushed my parents to migrate decades ago from their indigenous homeland of Lebanon to Turtle Island, in search of "peace" and "stability".

My family's presence here is not accidental, neutral, forced, or without profound impact on the people and wildlife it has displaced.

We are settlers.

I was born and raised on land that was violently stolen from its original stewards: the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples.

I continue to live, work and raise children on this land, teaching them about our sacred responsibilities and the implications of our presence here.

I turn to community and elders to learn about these, and what it means to decolonize, as a settler benefiting from a money-based vocation on stolen land.

My decolonizing praxis is an imperfect one that wrestles every day with colonial entanglements and the many traps and seductions of capitalism.

Rather than promise you a 'decolonized' service, I offer you an acknowledgement of where I'm at today:

An ongoing journey of unlearning, relearning, reflecting, acting, seeking to know better, trying again, stumbling, failing, reflecting, relearing ....... and so on. It is flawed, and it most definitely welcomes feedback.

This is the path I walk towards a desired Right Relationship with this land, water, and Indigenous peoples –

my cross-continental cousins and hosts in this lifetime.
