Land Acknowledgement

A land acknowledgment is an opportunity to convey our understanding that we exist always in relation — in relation to past, present, and future, in relation to the places in which we live and work, and in relation to each other.

Today, Tkaronto is covered under Treaty #13 and the Williams Treaties. It is the traditional territories of many First Peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples.

In Tiohtiá:ke or “Mooniyaang” in Anishinaabemowin (Montréal), we acknowledge this place for its longstanding site of gathering, exchange and creativity stewarded by the Kanien’kehá:ka Nations.

As settlers, newcomers, refugees, and Indigenous peoples, we have all been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship, and respect. We are also mindful of broken treaties that persist across Turtle Island today and recognize our responsibilities as Treaty people to engage in a meaningful, continuous process of truth and reconciliation with all our relations.
