I acknowledge the relationship that the original custodians, Canada’s Indigenous Peoples,1 have with the surrounding lands referred to as northwestern Ontario. As a new Asian settler in Canada, I believe that recognizing the land on which we exist as settlers is an important part of the progression of acknowledgments, recognition, and appreciation leading to reconciliation. The ongoing process of building reciprocal relations is based on respect. A new settler has a “mother country” with thriving cultures to go back to at any point of time. But for the Indigenous peoples it is all here. This is their home. And, thus, there is a need to learn about the history of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Taking part through deliberate actions throughout the research period, I educated myself about Canada’s colonial history and became an active and compassionate ally to Indigenous Peoples.
