Land Acknowledgement
Boozhoo. Together, we honour the land that we are on, even though this meeting is taking place virtually. Today I am joining from Aurora Ontario and respectfully acknowledge I am on the land and traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations a branch of the greater Anishinabewki Nation that includes Hodenosauneega and Wendake-NionwentsÏo. Many of you are located elsewhere, and I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the land you are currently on and its original peoples.
We gather with gratitude and say meegwetch to thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations and other Indigenous people for caring for this land for sharing this land, covered under Treaty 13, with those of us who are newcomers.
Out of gratitude, we are called to treat the land, its plants, animals, stories, and its people with honour and respect.
Thank you. Miigwetch
