A newcomer and settler on Indigenous Lands, I live and work on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Tkaronto is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. I also acknowledge that this territory is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Not sure whose lands you’re on? I encourage you to explore and find out.
