A Native #runner reflects on #landacknowledgments before races and in daily life

We are in the land of the #DishWithOneSpoonTreaty

"The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and Peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect."
