Susan respectfully acknowledges the unceded traditional territory of the Qualicum First Nation on which she lives, and the traditional keepers of their land. She stands in solidarity with First Nations people on the myriad of issues where they have been wronged. In part, writing about water issues is Susan's declaration that she stands in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples in Canada. She does not profess to have all the answers.
