Jacqueline Russell
Theatre Artist
I am grateful to be playing, creating, and resting in Mohkínstsis on the land of the signatories of Treaty 7: the Niitsitapi Nations of Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai; the Tsuu T'ina Nation, and the Nakoda Nations (Wesley, Bearspaw, and Chiniki). As a Treaty partner, I am learning how to honor the original intention of the Treaty Seven agreement as a binding spiritual contract between Indigenous and non-Indigenous. As an uninvited guest on this land, I am grateful for all my teachers as I learn how to decolonize my ways of thinking and being. Land Back.
