It’s important for us at the HUB to acknowledge our colonial past, and the harms that colonialism has brought to Indigenous and racialized people. Moreover, we want to recognize the continuing reality of unresolved land theft that Indigenous Peoples have to live with.


You can refer to Native Land as a starting point, but this is not a comprehensive or complete map; it’s a work in progress. 

The Climate Justice Organizing HUB is based on the territories of The Kanien’kehá:ka, who are the keepers of the Eastern Door of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The island called “Montreal” is known as Tiotia:ke in Kanien’kehá, a language of the Iroquoian family. It has historically been a meeting place for many Indigenous nations. 

As part of our approach to understanding proper land acknowledgement practices, we sought the wisdom of veteran Indigenous land defender Ellen Gabriel. Ellen spoke to us in Kanehsatake in 2021. We encourage you to take 4 minutes to listen to her thoughts on the conventions of Land Acknowledgement.
