LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

My Friend’s House is situated on the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and Mississauga peoples, bound by the Dish With One Spoon treaty of 1815. 

 We acknowledge that these nations were sovereign nations, and we respect pre-colonial treaties and covenants that existed before the arrival of settlers.  

We recognize the resilience and courage of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals who confront disproportionate levels of violence. In recognizing their strength, we commit ourselves to becoming better treaty partners and allies to our Indigenous communities.
