Land Acknowledgement

As we are hosting the workshop from Toronto, we would like to offer the following land acknowledgement:

​

Toronto, or Tkaranto, occupies a place that has been home to Indigenous peoples for over 15,000 years: the Huron-Wendat, Petun First Nations, the Seneca and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject to the “Dish with One Spoon Wampum Treaty” between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share and protect this land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and Peoples, and settlers from all over the globe, have been welcomed into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect. 

 

Tkaronto is now home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Recognizing where we stand is but one of many intentional acts for acknowledging injustices and committing ourselves individually and collectively to the path of truth and reconciliation.

Joining us from other places near and far, we encourage you to add your own words of land acknowledgement below to help us build that collective path of reconciliation Thank you for your submissions; access is now closed.
