This online discussion platform stands on the traditional territories of all Indigenous peoples of Taiwan. For thousands of years, they have cared for and remained connected to this land. As settlers, we recognize that our participation in colonialism — in its many forms, including conflict and harm — has profoundly shaped their lives. We acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who have lived on this land across generations; their land remains the foundation of all discussion here. It is only as data and signals travel through forests, plains, and oceans that this online platform becomes grounded in actual soil. We take on the responsibilities that come with being settlers, and commit to learning, discussing, and seeking ways of living together with Indigenous peoples — across the past, present, and future.
