Land Acknowledgment
As I (Kayla Breelove Carter) reflect on my own ancestors journey to this land, territories of indigenous peoples, as my ancestor's arrived to this land by force of enslavement, I walk humbly on the lands that is traditionally Mi'kma'ki |Wabanaki. The lands that are now called New Brunswick & Nova Scotia, is still home to Indigenous people of Mi'kma'ki |Wabanaki and others from across Turtle Island.
Living on this territory makes all people in New Brunswick & Nova Scotia treaty peoples, including those who come as settlers, or immigrants of this generation or earlier generations, including those, like my ancestors, involuntarily as a result of the Slave Trade. As my people before me, I continue to contribute in the efforts of allyship and the dismantling of racism within our communities, while acknowledging my privilege of being biracial, and mourning the historical trauma’s that continue to perpetuate in our present society, within systemic practices.
