However, the purpose of each lesson is for you to notice and connect with the teachers where you are.

To all who reside in what is now called North “America” (Canada and United States), we begin by acknowledging that this land was taken from the Indigenous Nations who have lived here for countless generations. Anyone other than Native People are visitors, so it is important to do this work of connecting with the land in a manner that is respectful to the land and to the original caretakers of the place where you live. Want to know whose land you are on?
