Empowering libraries to use data to inform decision-making, support advocacy, and communicate impact.
I am a descendent of the Métis people of the Red River Settlement, of an English settler on Treaty #2 lands in southeastern Saskatchewan, and of a Scottish settler family on Treaty #3 lands, known today as Hamilton, Ontario.
Today I live and work in Tkaronto, now known as Toronto, which in Mohawk means ‘where there are trees standing in the water’. Today, Tkaronto is covered under Treaty #13 and the Williams Treaties. It is the traditional territories of many First Peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
I am dedicated to learning about my country’s true history and the roles my ancestors played, including the horrors inflicted on Canada’s First Peoples. By learning and acknowledging the truth, I can be an active participant in moving towards reconciliation.
