I (we) would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather today is the lands traditionally used by the Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-o-show-nee), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-nah-bey), and Chonnonton (Chi-nawn-ton) People. I (we) also acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today. We are all treaty people with a responsibility to honour all our relations.
As part of this commitment, I would also like to acknowledge that not all people came to these lands as migrants and settlers.
