Land, Labor. JEDI statement Land Acknowledgements: The Laboratory for Sensory Ecology performs research in northwest Ohio as well as the University of Michigan Biological Station. BGSU is located on the traditional territory belonging to the Wyandot, Kickapoo, Miami, Potowatomi, Odawa, and multiple other indigenous tribal nations. Without the care and respect shown to this land, both past and present, by these groups, we realize that this work may not have been possible. The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people. In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan. This was offered ceremonially as a gift through the Treaty at the Foot of the Rapids so that their children could be educated. Through these words of acknowledgment, their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed. Labor Acknowledgement: Although the Laboratory for Sensory Ecology was founded in 1994, the lab, BGSU, and UMBS have all benefited from the stolen labor at the foundation of this nation and its vast and inequitable wealth. It is our responsibility and moral obligation to respectfully acknowledge our collective and immense debt to the enslaved people whose labor and suffering was used to build the prosperity and wealth of this nation despite the fact that the nation refused and continues to refuse to recognize their humanity. JEDI statement (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion): The Laboratory for Sensory Ecology believes that all people deserve access to equitable educational and economic opportunities. In taking this position, we have to acknowledge that historic, systemic, institutional, and governmental barriers are still present within our educational system and continues to create oppression and disparities. This statement serves to acknowledge the grief, stress, pain, suffering, and anxieties that these systems have created in the past and continue to do so. The Laboratory for Sensory Ecology works proactively to fight against these injustices and actively work with community members, including those affected by racism, discrimination, and violence on the basis of their color, immigrant and indigenous status, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation, or disability. By being proactive in our position, we acknowledge the fruitlessness of only being a witness and work to provide justice and to create a just society.
