“As we begin our meeting, we dedicate this time to acknowledge this truth; that all of us currently occupy unceded, stolen land that rightfully belongs to the Indigenous peoples who originated here, and have been the stewards and protectors of these lands and waters for millennia.
As Green Party members, we believe whole-heartedly in the right of our Indigenous comrades to sovereignty, prosperity, and justice. We pledge, both as individuals and as a party, to stand in solidarity with all Indigenous communities in our collective fight for economic, environmental, and social liberation.
We encourage all of our members and meeting participants to actively engage with these truths, and to do their research about the people whose lands they currently reside on, and how we can all best show support and solidarity with those who occupied these lands before us.
To learn more about the indigenous peoples of your area and see whose land you currently reside on, we encourage everyone to visit the website www.native-land.ca. Thank you.”
