YEG Lit: March Events

March 4, 2018March 6, 2018 / thebolotiecollective / Leave a comment

Somehow it's March already. With just over a month to go until the end of the school year, it's tempting to sit here and wonder where the time went. Eight months when you're a kid seem to take forever to pass; not so, when you're busy adulting. Then again, when we think back to September … Continue reading YEG Lit: March Events

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six
Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous
people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies
and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory
home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our
inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this
acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have
been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and
men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human
beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the
responsibility we have to one another.
