We acknowledge that we have only been able to live and to flourish because we are on Native land, on the land of First Nations, a land distressed and disrespected, as has been the hospitality these Nations extended. May we who live on the land reciprocate their historic good will, the riches and wealth, and promote the political will to go forward with respect and with honour and with care.
Climate justice, responses to racism and poverty, disasters or calamities, are all bound up together.
One reflects on the Other.
These difficult times call for responses grounded in social justice, discernment, and systemic and political expediency to cultivate our big big garden.
