What is a website’s relationship to the land?

In reality, our digital spaces are housed in server buildings that physically exist on lands far away from where we access the internet. This web has a footprint, a carbon emissions cost, labour costs, and politics. While I don’t control, or even know, what land is taken for this website to exist, I’ve chosen to represent the land in this footer, the lowest part of my website, as a metaphor for the nourishing foundation that everything is built upon.

As for the land where I chose to live my bodily life, my health was found in Ktaqmkuk, also known as Newfoundland, and I learned about its names from this guide. I continue to learn from this land’s indigenous people through reading their words, attending cultural trainings and events through First Light, and by filling my social media feeds with indigenous voices from here and other parts of Turtle Island, and the world. I make efforts to listen to the ones settler colonizers violently eliminated, and the ones who refused to be destroyed, still here still alive, who are our hosts and community members with so, so much to share.

To learn who holds your land, who hosts your ancestry, and who is your community, visit native-land.ca and begin to learn.
