LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we gather on lands that are the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations from the time of the creation of the "Dish With One Spoon" wampum agreement. The
name of this agreement uses the symbolism of the dish to represent the territory, and one spoon to show that the people are to share the resources of the land and only take what they need. We honour and respect the intimate relationship that the Indigenous peoples had and still have with this land.
