Land & Lineage Acknowledgement

leelapod had its beginnings in the meeting place of Tkaronto (also known as Toronto) which is located on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, and the Wendat, and the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge that our home on native land is currently home to Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we recognize our settler responsibilities towards decolonization. Visit native-land.ca to learn the Indigenous history of the land you live on. 

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the teachers who have come before us. We are beneficiaries of wisdom traditions that include Vedic, Buddhist, Jain, and Tantric lineages. Our work includes staying alive to the very real issues of colonization, oppression, appropriation and erasure so the gifts of lineage may be fostered and transmitted with care and humanity.
