Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini Algonquin Nation

We acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, which is known by Indigenous Peoples as unceded.

We acknowledge that the Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of this land since time immemorial and as such, we treat the land, its plants, animals, stories and people with honour and respect. 

Today, this land is home to many Indigenous People from across Turtle Island, and we acknowledge the shared opportunity to live and work within this beautiful territory.

This recognition of the contribution and historic importance of Indigenous Peoples must also be clearly and overtly connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our communities, and in particular to bring justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls across our county.

All my relations, Chi-Miigwetch
