Land Acknowledgement
While Road Trip Ontario will take us through numerous traditional territories throughout the province, we are based in Toronto.
As such we acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
Pronunciation
- Anishnabeg: (ah-nish-naw-bek)
- Haudenosaunee: (hoodt-en-oh-show-nee)
- Métis: (may-tee)
African Ancestral Acknowledgement
Road Trip Ontario also acknowledges all Treaty peoples – including those who came here as settlers – as migrants either in this generation or in generations past – and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent.
