Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land we stand upon today is the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Neutral peoples and is connected to the Dish with One Spoon wampum, under which multiple nations agreed to care for the land and its resources by the Great Lakes in peace.
We also acknowledge the Upper Canada Treaties signed in regard to this land, which include Treaty #29 and Treaty #45 ½.
We recognize First peoples’ continued stewardship of the land and water and accept responsibility as a public institution to renew respectful relationships with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit people through reconciliation and community service.
