Migrant Action Centre

We acknowledge and pay homage to the Indigenous peoples who are the original stewards of the land now known as Newfoundland and Labrador. We recognize that this land was never ceded or surrendered through treaty or agreement and that colonialism has been a violent and oppressive force in the lives of Indigenous peoples. We recognize the Indigenous nations and communities that have lived on and cared for this land for thousands of years, and we acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonization and the ongoing struggle for self-determination and sovereignty. We reject the systems of domination and control that have been imposed on Indigenous peoples and we stand in solidarity with Indigenous struggles for self-determination, sovereignty, and decolonization. We are committed to building a world free from all forms of oppression and exploitation, and we recognize that this requires us to actively challenge and dismantle colonialism in all its forms.
