Land Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge that I practice and share wellness and therapeutic knowledge on the island of Ktaqmkuk [Uk-dah-hum-gook] (Newfoundland), which I recognize as the traditional, ancestral homelands of the Beothuk [Bee-oth-uk] and the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq [Mee-gum-maq]. As a practicing therapist and a person I acknowledge all First Peoples who came before us, who live with us now, and the seven generations to come while committing myself to working and living in a spirit of truth and reconciliation. As the Indigenous and First Peoples have done from the time of creation, I strive to work and live a responsible steward of the land and respect the cultures, ceremonies and traditions of all who call it home. As a settler of Turtle Island, I invite all Indigenous and First Peoples to expand or correct this acknowledgement as necessary.
