Nō Ingarani, nō Kōtirana, nō Aerana, nō Kanata ōku tīpuna.
I whānau mai ōku mātua i Kanata.
Ko Blanchard te maunga.
Ko Sto:lo te awa.
Ko Kiwa te moana.
Ko Te Herenga Waka tōku marae.
Nō Secwépemc ahau.
Ko tēnei toku mihi ki ngā tangata whenua o te rohe nei. E mihi ana ki ngā tohu o nehe, o Te Whanganui-a-Tara e noho nei au.
Ko Kailey Carruthers tōku ingoa.
I'm Kailey Carruthers, an interdisciplinary artist and educator living in Aotearoa New Zealand. I was born and raised in Canada (Turtle Island), growing up in the unceded Secwépemc territory of central British Columbia. I trained at Emily Carr University and graduated with a degree in Film, Video & Integrated Media in 2009. Shortly after graduating, I came to Aotearoa on my OE and never really left...
I give thanks to te tangata whenua o Aotearoa for your generosity, aroha, mātauranga, and ongoing fight for rendigenisation.
