Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land and water around where we gather today is the traditional territory of the
Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral Peoples.

Today, this land is still home to Indigenous Peoples, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to meet
and work on this territory. We recognize the First Peoples’ continued stewardship of the land and water, and that this territory was subject to the Dish with One Spoon wampum under which multiple nations agreed to care for the land and resources by the Great Lakes in peace.

We acknowledge and recognize the Upper Canada Treaties signed regarding this land, which include
Treaty #29 and Treaty #45 1/2, and our roles and shared responsibilities as treaty people committed
to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation, gratitude, and respect with all Indigenous, First Nation,
Inuit and Métis people.
