Land acknowledgement This land is also the subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and the Anishnaabe to share and care peaceably for the resources around the Great Lakes.
Land acknowledgement We give thanks for the stewardship of this land by Indigenous people, and the continuing presence here of First Nations, M tis and Inuit from across Turtle Island.
Land acknowledgement We acknowledge the displacement of First Nations people to reserves by a series of treaties, the harm caused by colonialism, and the role our Church has played in it.
Land acknowledgement We acknowledge that we have failed to live up to the treaties, and we commit ourselves to seeking a new and honourable relationship with the First Peoples of this land.
