Reconciliation Commitment

I am a queer Canadian with Ukrainian settler heritage who learned to throw and continues to practice on the unceded lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and səlilwətaɬ nations. Being surrounded by the nature here inspires my art constantly and I feel incredibly thankful to live where I do. I am committed to showing that gratitude through actions and do my best to uplift the people who experience systemic oppression in order to allow for me and my ancestors to be here, because feeling lucky doesn't actually do anything for the nations. 

​

Update as of July 2025: I am working to connect with the nations to ensure that what I can offer them is in line with what they actually need and I am not making assumptions. My goal was to come to them with solutions and offers that they can choose to accept or ignore to reduce the burden on them of having to respond to yet another inquiry. I have received a return message from 1/3 and am waiting on the other two.
