WordCamp Canada acknowledges that Ottawa, as it is now called, is built on un-ceded and un-surrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. The Peoples of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this Land.
We honour the Peoples of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation. We honour all First Nations, Inuit, Métis and all Indigenous Peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this Land known as Turtle Island.
We are committed to listening to Indigenous voices and open to learning from Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being that may not be our familiar ways.
We hope that, through this WordCamp, we may encourage important conversations within the WordPress community about the value of Indigenous perspectives and practical ways to support Indigenous communities in engaging with WordPress.
