LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We honour the land upon which we gather, recognizing it as the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For millennia, Indigenous peoples nurtured and called this land home, a tradition that endures today. We pay tribute to the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Ojibway/Chippewa nations, as well as the Metis, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Additionally, we acknowledge our African Ancestors, who have graced these Canadian lands for over four centuries. We also remember those who arrived here under duress, victims of slavery, indentured servitude, and the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. In this collective acknowledgment, we affirm that we are all Treaty People. We are thankful for the privilege to contribute to this land and, in doing so, extend our respect to its original stewards.
