Land acknowledgement
This book was written at Brandon University, on Treaty 2 lands. Brandon University has campuses on both Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 lands, and we are a gathering place for people from many backgrounds around the world. In this way, and through this book, we carry on the Indigenous customs of our home in Brandon. We acknowledge Brandon is on shared territory between the Dakota Oyate, the Anishinaabeg, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. Today, many other Indigenous people call Brandon their home, including the Ininew, Anisininewuk, Denesuline, and Inuit.
The plants, animals and people who share their history and traditions on the land and water of this area deeply influenced our approach to this book, and to how we wanted to teach and represent academic integrity. Miigwech (Thank you) for sharing this learning with us by reading this book today.
