Niagara College acknowledges the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous peoples.
About NC's Land Acknowledgement
Today we are meeting virtually from many communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Our members from the Island are working from the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk peoples, and our participants from Labrador are from the lands of the original peoples of Labrador, the Innu and Inuit. We offer our respects to all our Indigenous cultures and recognize their continued connection to the land.
