We acknowledge that we work on the land traditionally used by the Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabe, and Neutral Peoples.  The land we are on was intended to be leased to settlers but instead was sold as land with full title. There are very few legal sales of Indigenous land, most of which were never paid to the Indigenous people of the territory. We acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, contributions and philosophies of the Indigenous People with whom we share this land today. We are grateful to have the opportunity to be on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
