We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe, a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange among nations. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this land, as well as the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples in this region.
We are grateful for the opportunity to live and work on this land, and also explore and paddle its beautiful lakes and rivers. We are committed to learning from and standing in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of the Algonquin Anishinaabe.
