Acknowledgement of Territory
The Rehabilitation Therapy Student Society acknowledges that Queen’s
University is situated on the traditional and ancestral territories of the
Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat and Metis peoples. To
acknowledge this traditional territory is to recognize its long history
predating colonization and to recognize this land’s significance for the
Indigenous peoples’ who lived, and continue to live, upon it. The members of
our Rehab Student Society make up a diverse group of students coming from
many different corners of Canada and the world. We are grateful for the
opportunity to meet on these lands, while building relationships and learning
from our connections. We acknowledge that for many of us, this journey was
made possible in part by the direct consequences of colonization and the
systematic marginalization of Indigenous Canadians. Subsequently, we
recognize as student leaders and future health care professionals, we have a
responsibility to work towards reconciliation, to rebuild relationships with our
Indigenous friends, family and community members and to create inclusive
and safe spaces for all.
