Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather, learn, and play is the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapeewak and Potawatomi peoples who have longstanding relationships to the land, water, and region of southwestern Ontario. The local First Nations of this area include Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, the Caldwell First Nation, Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point, Oneida Nation of the Thames, the Delaware Nation at Moraviantown, the Munsee-Delaware Nation, and Walpole Island First Nation. Additionally, there is a growing urban Indigenous population who make the cities of Southwestern Ontario home. We value the significant historical and contemporary contributions of local and regional First Nations of Turtle Island (North America).
