Knowledge Building across SCCDSB:
First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Traditions, Cultures, and Perspectives
Acknowledgement of Ancestral Lands
The following Acknowledgement of Ancestral Lands has three components: yesterday, today, and tomorrow and reflects, in full circle, all that came before and all that comes after.
We are thankful for the Creator’s gift of Mother Earth, providing everything we need for life: air, water, land, and all of Creation. We acknowledge that this land, surrounded by water, on which we are gathered today is part of the ancestral land of the Anishinaabeg and the Lunaapeewak.
Together, as treaty people, we have a shared responsibility to act with respect for the environment, protecting the future for those generations to come.
