LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to begin by acknowledging the sacred land on which TKBB Toronto operates. This land is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. This territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Anishinabeg and Haudenosaunee allied nations to share peaceably and care for the lands around the Great Lakes. Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and we are all treaty people. Many of us have come here as settlers, immigrants, or newcomers in this generation or generations past. We also acknowledge the many people of African descent who are not settlers but whose ancestors were forcibly displaced as part of the transatlantic slave trade against their will and made to work on these lands. We honour and pay tribute to the ancestors of African origin and descent. European colonialism and institutional racism have resulted in a great deal of harm to Indigenous Peoples – the effects of which continue to be felt today. As treaty people, we resolve to do better, in our actions and our thoughts, in order to defend Indigenous self-determination, Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people, and make right with all our relations.
