U HAV POWR recognizes that we are working on STOLEN Algonquin Anishinabaae Territory within Turtle Island (also known as North America).
For centuries, Indigenous communities within Turtle Islad and across the globe have been imposed to unimaginable violence that has caused long lasting and generational suffering. To this day, Indigenous communities across Algonquin Anishinabaae territory face chronic underfunding from the Canadian government for access to clean drinking water. This means, Indigenous peoples are disproportionately exposed to water-borne diseases than the settler population.
This is one of many examples of what happens when treaty agreements established between Indigenous Nations and settlers continue to be broken, and it is simply unfair and disgraceful. The Canadian government continue to break the law, and exploit Indigenous tribes and land.
We the people, must vocalize this truth and REJECT complacency that comes from silence.
U HAV POWR commits to the land back movement by identifying ongoing colonial realities for Indigenous communities, informing non-Indigenous allies through decolonial discourse and critiquing Western normalcies. Through an intersectional framework, we center solidarity over saviorism.
