Who and Where We Are
Our team members are located in:
- Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional land of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis nation, and
- Victoria, British Columbia, the traditional territory of the Lekwungen peoples and meeting place of the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
About half of our current team is Indigenous (Anishinaabe, Cree, Haida, and Métis). We also have many non-Indigenous identities (such as Afrikaans-speaking Dutch, Canadian, English, Filipino, French, German, Irish, Mennonite, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, and Scottish). Collectively, our team has a lived understanding of Canada’s colonial projects, a deep understanding of the varied and rich Indigenous cultural traditions, intergroup relations expertise, and expertise in several areas.
