Land Acknowledgement

I acknowledge the land on which Brock University was built 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, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging this is a reminder of my privilege to live and work on this land. It is important to note acknowledging this privilege is not enough, it is important to learn and advocate against the ongoing genocide that exists here in Canada.
