Land Acknowledgement
We wish to take an insufficient amount of time to acknowledge the profound loss of land, resources and people the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee people had due to our ancestors' desire to live on this land.
The colonists broke the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. This agreement was entered by the Haudenosaunee and Mississauga with the intent to share peacefully, to take only what they need from the land, leave some for others and to keep it clean.
While we hope we are making progress towards reconciliation, we are a long way from fulfilling our end of this treaty. Too many people starve when others live in excess, and our environment suffers profoundly.
The Dish With One Spoon Wampum is an old treaty that continues to have many applications for today if we listen.
