±«Óătv the author: Theresa Rajack-Talley is ±«Óătv’s vice-provost of equity and inclusion
Diversity and Inclusiveness are part of ±«Óătv’s core values. It is within this context that we acknowledge National Indigenous History Month and the valuable contributions of the Indigenous people to our country, province and university. Ěý
±«Óătv University is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.
We also acknowledge the anger, pain, fear, and frustration that so many are experiencing because of the horrid impact of the pandemic and the unjust racial tragedies. We unequivocally condemn the persistent and unjust atrocities, violence and deaths of indigenous people. We will continue to do our part at ±«Óătv in promoting and integrating inclusiveness at all levels and add our voices to the important conversation about systemic racism. Ěý
