🌎 LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
We respectfully acknowledge that this event is taking place on the unceded, traditional and ancestral territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.
Tkaronto (Toronto) is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Toronto itself is a word that originates from the Mohawk word “Tkaronto,” meaning “the place in the water where the trees are standing,”.
Today, the meeting place of so-called Toronto is still home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and host this event in this territory.
