LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Bishop’s University is located in the beautiful Eastern Townships just southeast of Montréal, on the unceded traditional lands of the Abenaki people. Meeting and working in this privileged location is a constant reminder of the need for continued conversations about the importance of decolonization and reconciliation, not just as abstract concepts, but as difficult ongoing processes to be worked on.
