Kinship Mapping

Author: Elizabeth A Lange PhD

We are our relations. We are born into certain family, social, ancestral, historical, biotic, and cultural relations. No person is self-contained but rather is embedded relationally from the first breath. This is our matrix of life. Even before we develop language or a separate sense of self, our relations constitute who we are. Mapping your relations can reveal many facets of your kinship.  Suggested donation: $6 CDN

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I acknowledge the law of hospitality that originally greeted newcomers to Turtle Island. I was born and raised on the Indigenous land of the Plains Cree who call themselves Nêhiyawak, or the “four direction people,” says Elder Jimmy O’Chiese. Given this, I am a participant in Treaty 6.

 

I honour this Land and her peoples and aim to be truthful about colonization and our settler impacts.  I am working to help honour the terms of good will and co-existence intended by these treaties, as a practice of decolonization and reconciliation.

​

I am now privileged to live on the unceded Indigenous land of the Coast Salish peoples, including the SC’IANEW, Malahat, Songhees, Esquimalt, and T’Sou-ke. I support the current negotiations for the Te’mexw Treaty, that we may live into the future through right relations.

​

I humbly acknowledge that the Earth supports all Life through Her generosity and abundance. I am working hard to honour the Original Agreements between the Land and Indigenous peoples, learning to live in harmony and balance, and engage in restorative practices where damage has been done.
