  • Maraming salamat po to the lupa, the tubig, lawa ng Ontario, the hayop, mga puno, and lahat ng halaman. I give my eternal recognition to my pamilya’s ancestral spirits who continue to guide me - including my Lolos, my Lolas, my Ninangs, and my Tatay.

    I also give recognition and acknowledge that Durham Region forms a part of the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississauga of Scugog Island First Nation, The Mississauga Peoples, and the treaty territory of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, and is now home to many diverse First Nations: Inuit and Metis.

    It is on these ancestral treaty lands that I teach, learn, grow, paddle its waters, and surf its waves.
