GOOD TO BE GOOD operates on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, with our head office located on Treaty 13 territory, the ancestral and ongoing lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We acknowledge that Indigenous Peoples are the original and continuing caretakers of this sacred land. We honour this meeting place—home to many diverse Indigenous Nations—whose presence long predates colonization by white European settlers who violently occupied, exploited, and reshaped these territories through the ongoing project of settler colonialism.

As we continue to learn about this critical history—and the ongoing impacts of colonialism—we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and Land and Water Defenders across Turtle Island.

As settlers, immigrant settlers, and beneficiaries of colonial systems, we are committed to the lifelong process of decolonizing ourselves, standing in solidarity, learning the true histories of this land, and actively unlearning the systems of colonial dominance that shape our present.

We honour and remember the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, and we commit to holding governments accountable for implementing the Calls to Action and the Calls for Justice. These are necessary steps toward ending genocide, acknowledging systemic harm, and transforming the structures that sustain colonial violence.

We also acknowledge that many people of African descent were not settlers, but were forcibly displaced and enslaved through the transatlantic slave trade—brought to these lands against their will, and made to labour in unjust and violent conditions. We recognize that as Black and brown people navigating racism and systemic oppression on these stolen lands, our liberation is inherently connected to Indigenous sovereignty. We reject healing or justice that isn’t inclusive, reciprocal, accountable, or grounded in true solidarity.

We are deeply indebted to Indigenous Peoples for their enduring stewardship, kinship, and care for the land and waters. We are committed to learning how to work in true solidarity—as accomplices in shifting colonial defaults—and to honouring Indigenous sovereignty, safety, and truth in all that we do.
