McGill (and thus SASSS) is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka, the easternmost Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The island we are situated on is known as Tio’tià:ke in Kanien’kéha and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin, and has been a place of cultural exchange for long before the arrival of colonizers to so-called Canada. 

 

The reality is that acknowledging this fact means nothing on its own. Land acknowledgements can be attempts by settler-colonial institutions – like McGill – to absolve themselves of guilt and responsibility, while also ignoring their roles in practices and campaigns dispossessing Indigenous peoples of their lands, wealth, and culture. 

 

We have a responsibility to move far beyond words and into praxis. Take this land acknowledgment as an explicit call to action: support Indigenous resistance against colonial governments and their systems created to assimilate, as well as extractive industries and ecological degredation. If you have the financial means, donate to communities on the front lines and local mutual aid networks. Volunteer your time with organizations in Tio’tià:ke that serve Indigenous folks. Do whatever you can, wherever you can, to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities across Turtle Island.
