LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We respectfully acknowledge the land and water we hike, explore, and enjoy nature on is the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg people, in particular the traditional territory of Fort William First Nation, signatory to the Robinson-Superior Treaty of 1850, on whose lands our association resides. We recognize and honour the past, present, and future caretakers of the lands and waters. We are grateful for the privilege and opportunity we have to connect with nature. We recognize our responsibility for fostering respect and improving our own understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their culture, and to promote environmental stewardship.
