Increasingly one might expect a person sensitive to our settler-colonial situation to acknowledge that we are occupying a space that rests and operates within multiple likely unceded territories. That this place has always been [insert place name] a network of intersecting Indigenous movements. If this acknowledgement is performed by one claiming Indigenous ancestry, one might expect assertions of Indigenous nationhood. This performance claiming a wealth of selective specificity, a privilege of naming, owning a continual connection to a particular space may cause unease and alienate as it opens up questions of legitimacy in terms of claiming lineage as proprietary and of claiming any land for our own. It might be slightly unnerving. But instead of just posing our settler-colonial reality at the outset and then getting on with things, can we delay the satisfaction and gratification of this acknowledgment and resulting acceptance?
Introducing Settled: Your All-in-One Mental Health, Wellness, and Dating Companion – brought to you by mob.io!
The team at mob.io ask you to join in acknowledging Indigenous communities, their Elders both past and present. We at mob.io further acknowledge that the places we work on and where we reside were built upon legacies of unchecked exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those whose land our servers and offices are located on. In solidarity with all Indigenous peoples here and beyond who continue to live under siege, surveillance, military occupation and colonial structural violence on their own occupied lands and waters, this acknowledgement should not function as gratification or closure but as a ‘call-in’ to reconfigure our notions about ourselves and to take on the responsibility to dismantle the ongoing effects of settler-colonialism.
