LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The purpose of the land acknowledgement is to respectfully and meaningfully acknowledge all Indigenous Peoples and their close connection to the land and water of ancestral inhabitation.

We acknowledge that our watershed is situated on lands within the traditional and treaty territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Anishinaabeg and the signatories of the Williams Treaties, which include the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, Hiawatha, Curve Lake, and Alderville First Nations, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island, Rama and Beausoleil First Nations. We are grateful for the Anishinaabeg who have cared for the land and waters within this territory since time immemorial.

We recognize that this watershed is steeped in rich Indigenous history and is now present-day home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We express gratitude for this diverse group of Indigenous Peoples who continue to care for the land and shape and strengthen our community.

The CLOCA Administration Office is located in ‘Oshawa’ which stems from an Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) word meaning “a crossing place” and has further translation as “the point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for the trail”. This name reflects and recognizes the importance of water and land to our community and is a reminder of this important and powerful connection between people and place in the past but also of the present and for the future.

As a Conservation Authority, we are crossing over. We are committed to understanding the truth of our shared history, acknowledging our role in addressing the negative impacts that colonization continues to have on Indigenous Peoples, developing reciprocal relationships, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation. We are all Treaty people.
