Next: She had grown up a non-practicing Jew in a small New England town full of Christians. Once or twice she had been asked by her teachers to explain Hanukkah, and a few times she had been called Jewgirl by some creepy boy, but among all the graffiti on desks in her years at school, she had never seen a swastika. Now here one was, right in her bathroom, spiked and symmetrical, written on her find like “Mary + Kenny” or “Fuck Physics” or “True Love Always.”

I acknowledge that I live in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq nation. This territory is covered by a series of treaties of peace and friendship which recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established rules for an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all treaty people. The stories of First Nations peoples have been told in Mi'kma'ki for centuries, and I commit to holding space for those stories to be retold. Moreover, as a guest on this land, I affirm that I have a duty to be mindful of my environmental impact and to reflect on and hold colonial systems accountable.
