As someone from the territories of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation (Tio’tia:ke/Montreal), and of Ashkenazi Jewish as well as Acadian Catholic decent, I was born into a complex web of settler in-fighting, marked by historical and ongoing colonialism, a disavowal of the slave trade as anything relevant to the Canadian imaginary, and an orchestrated program of Indigenous romanticism and erasure. I currently live and work on Treaty 6 territory (amiskwaciy-wâskahikan/Edmonton) at the University of Alberta. As an individual faculty member, and as part of my ongoing research on artistic practice committed to social and ecological justice, I call for #CeaseFire and say #NotInMyName. We are all differently positioned within our institutions and within our lives. Let us each act in the best ways that we know how, given our spheres of influence and power. Let us work within our social justice ecologies to bring understanding to each other’s choices, foregrounding mutual aid and collective care.
