I live and work on unceded territory of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk) and Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee) people. I question my relationship to the land, do what I can to take care of it as a resilient habitat for many native species, while realizing that colonialism is ongoing in many forms. I work with others to imagine what land back would look like and co-create a future where First Nations people have more voice in governing. Land back is not an easy idea for settler people such as myself, but I am eager to bring it into action through inclusive habitat restoration and community engagement with the arts.
