Land Acknowledgement Statement - Mayor Clarke |
|
I would like to take this moment to respectfully acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe peoples, specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, a member of the Chippewa Tri-Council which includes the Chippewas of Beausoleil First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. These lands are covered by the Williams Treaties and Upper Canada Treaties and were signed by our governments on behalf of the Anishinabek and Canadian peoples. I am thankful for the opportunity to honour and recognize the long and enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples – First Nations, Metis and Inuit – on this land. Their teachings and stewardship, culture and way of life have shaped our City’s unique identity. As we strive to foster a welcoming, caring, inclusive and accessible community for all citizens, together our City and Council is committed to helping our community understand, honour and take action toward real Truth and Reconciliation through education and acknowledgement, and moving forward with respect, harmony and dignity for our Indigenous peoples of the past, present and future. Thank you very much. Miigwech Mayor Steve Clarke
BackgroundIn 2020, Council voted to incorporate a land acknowledgement statement into its official Council proceedings during National Indigenous History Month, as well as during the inaugural meeting of newly elected Councils each term. For more, read Report PRCR-20-01 Land Acknowledgement Statement “Adding the land acknowledgement into special Council proceedings demonstrates the importance of the statement to City officials. The land acknowledgement is not something we simply want to say; it’s something we want to honour, learn from and recognize with the importance and reverence it deserves. Council wants to ensure the statement is presented in a meaningful way and recited with purpose during special times throughout the term, not something that gets checked off procedurally,” said Mayor Steve Clarke. The statement was part of the June 7, 2021, Council meeting. For more, read the release: Council to recognize National Indigenous Month at June 7, 2021 meeting.
