Welcome to Filipinas of HamOntFilipinas of HamOnt is a by-for-and-with grassroots collective, guided by antiracist and decolonial feminist values, we aspire to claim our individual and collective power through collaborative, creative and liberatory practices and spaces of doing to contribute to movement building in the creation of transformative change in communities.
Land Reflection
We acknowledge that we are on Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Attiwonderonk (Neutral), Haudenosaunee, Mississauga, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation lands. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
We think about how we can be better covenant and treaty partners and how we can better support landback advocates.
