This event is taking place on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg people.
I recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. I also recognize the contributions that Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community, and our province and country as a whole.
As a settler, I also recognize that I have privilege.
“The third clause provides that celebrating the “Potlatch” is a misdemeanour. This Indian festival is debauchery of the worst kind, and the departmental officers and all clergymen unite in affirming that it is absolutely necessary to put this practice down.”
"Sir, We are looking anxiously for your report ... as to the best means of extinguishing the Indian titles in the valley of Saskatchewan. ... We should take immediate steps to extinguish the Indian titles somewhere in the Fertile Belt in the valley of Saskatchewan, and open it for settlement."
“When ... the child lives with its parents, who are savages, and though he may learn to read and write, his habits and training mode of thought are Indian. ... Indian children should be withdrawn as much as possible from the parental influence ... put them in central training industrial schools where they will acquire the habits and modes of thought of white men."

"This disparity in attention suggests that individuals on the trans female/feminine spectrum are culturally marked, not for failing to conform to gender norms per se, but because of the specific direction of their gender transgression—that is, because of their feminine gender expression and/or their female gender identities. Thus, the marginalization of trans female/feminine spectrum people is not merely a result of transphobia, but is better described as trans-misogyny."
