Avacalians live, work, and play on lands covered by Treaties 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 - lands that are the traditional territory of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples - those whose historical relationship with the land continues to this day. We pause to reflect on the importance of this history.

			While we recognize that the work of reconciliation is a systemic one, we also encourage all members to participate in their own ways in their personal lives, broadening their education and connecting with the community. In the SCA, it can be difficult to connect concepts of medieval reenactment to the modern-day work of reconciliation. Therefore, we've compiled a list of real-life, applicable ways for members to incorporate deliberate acts of support in their Modern Middle Ages:

			-Event Stewards and Seneschals - consider booking events, meeting spaces, and other gatherings at Indigenous-owned businesses or venues, such as campgrounds and casinos. Consider posting literature at gate with information about the traditional stewards of the land where you booked your event.

			-Heralds - be sure to work to do your level best to pronounce names and places from all cultures accurately. Work alongside your royals to keep court a respectful event for all, and be willing to include statements of acknowledgement and support in your court plans.

			-Artisans - consider intentionally sourcing beads, paints, papers, furs, leathers, fabrics, and other materials from Indigenous-owned businesses. Be conscious of environmental footprint when obtaining new supplies, and reduce the impact of your projects to the lands where we reside.

			Researchers - Try to remember that oral traditions are part of the historical record. Consider speaking with local elders when researching topics, and take opportunities to learn the histories of the people who have stewarded the land we live on

			-Scribes - consider looking at traditional artwork for inspiration, and consider how you could respectfully implement this on your scrolls.

			-Bards - consider attending an event and learning a traditional story or song, to share the history at the next bardic circle. Be an active listener when fellow bards are sharing parts of their own cultures.

			-Webminsters - check over your website to ensure a respectful land acknowledgement is included. Double-check the wording of your information and featured photos to make sure your website isn't accidentally implying that the SCA is only for European reenactment. Be sure to display a range of cultures and personas to invite diversity and encourage a variety of interests
