LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
by Diane O'Shea
In our community, we live, learn, and work on the homelands of the Haudenosaunee (HOH-din-oh-SHOH-nee) and the Anishinaabeg (uh-NISH-ih-NAH-bay) First Nations peoples. We honour their continued presence and deep traditional knowledge. We recognize especially the stewardship of the land by the First Peoples.
Our ancestors made special promises or treaties to share this land and to be good neighbours. May we all live with respect for the land in peace and friendship.
