Our education and employment as students, instructors, educational developers, learning designers, and administrators, have taken place on the lands of the Coast Salish, the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, the Mississaugas of the Credit River, the Algonquin, Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg, the Anishinabewaki, the Wendake-Niowentsïo, the Haudenosaunee, the Attiwonderonk, Nipissing First Nation and Anishnabek, within lands protected by the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850. We strive to follow intent with action and make equity, diversity, and inclusion foundational components of our teaching, educational leadership, and learning practice. We can and will use decolonization and anti-colonization as primary frameworks in our disparate and diverse roles. We acknowledge the unmistakable power hierarchies as we operate on colonized lands and so, we also acknowledge that it is our responsibility to not only avoid perpetuating colonial structures, but to also uphold anti-colonial structures and decolonize our teaching and learning.
