INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Before we begin, in service to the ongoing project of Truth and Reconciliation, I would like to share an acknowledgement of the fact that I am teaching on Indigenous Lands in an institution that has a fraught history with the First Peoples of these territories, and that Huron University College is situated on Treaty 6 lands and the territories of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenausaune, Lenaapeewak, and Attawandaron peoples.
