We are located on the traditional unceded, and unsurrendered territories of the Anishinaabek and Haudenosaunee, who have inhabited and cared for these lands since time immemorial. We take this time to express our gratitude and respect to them and to the land for all that it has provided and will continue to provide. We acknowledge the history, the on-going impacts, and systems of colonialism. We are committed to learning more to promote healing and resilience as we move forward in true reconciliation. We are dedicated to building a future and community that is better for all.

This is National Treaties Recognition Week. Treaties are agreements between First Nations and the Crown that were meant to ensure we live together in peace, friendship, and respect. Treaties continue to shape our lives today, and we all share a responsibility to learn about and honour them, because we are all treaty people. We invite you to take time this week to learn whose treaty land we are on and how we can live in good relationship with each other and the land. In what we currently called Canada, First Nations and the Crown made treaties to share the land, protect rights, and support one another. For Indigenous Peoples, treaties were made in ceremony and were meant to last as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow.
Treaties remind us to live in a good way, honour our commitments, and care for Mother Earth.

This is National Treaties Recognition Week. Today we recognize the Dish With One Spoon wampum, made between Indigenous Nations long before settlers arrived. It teaches us that we all share one dish - the land -and one spoon - meaning we must only take what we need, care for the land, and make sure there is enough for future generations. This treaty reminds us to be good stewards, protect the environment, and live sustainably.
