Land Acknowledgement:

 

Burlington as we know it today is rich in history and modern traditions of many First Nations and the Métis. From the Ah-nish-nah-beg (Anishinaabeg) to the Ho-den-oh-sho-nee (Haudenosaunee), and the Métis – our lands spanning from Lake Ontario to the Niagara Escarpment are steeped in Indigenous history. The territory is mutually covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy, the Ojibway and other allied Nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.


We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
