An ethic of care for land and community
The University of Guelph is located within the Between the Lakes Purchase Treaty Agreement, also known as Treaty 3. This is the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Both the Anishinnabe and Haudenosaunee peoples have unique, long-standing and on-going relationships with each other in this area, underscored by care for and with the land. In this space focused on care, we acknowledge that care and interdependence have been key to the way knowledge has been practiced by Indigenous communities across so called Canada for centuries. As researchers working for social change, we are committed to taking part in 'troubling' how care has been practiced and understood in our communities and practicing care and solidarity in this area in an attentive, responsible, competent, and responsive way.
