I would like to acknowledge that I reside on land that was originally owned by the Anishabewaki, Adawa (Odawa), and Mississauga Indigenous people. The Treaty that was signed by many Anishinaabek chiefs and was called the Huron Tract Treaty #29 of 1827. For the sovereignty of the indigenous involved in this treaty, I would like to state that this treaty was meant to be a shared stewardship of the land. You can read more Here and Aamjiwnaang. Because I believe that the youth are our future you can support 4Rs a Youth Movement by donation or by helping to sponsor a young person to attend this cross cultural dialogue. If anyone finds any mistakes within this statement please contact me. Thank you.
