It’s important for us at the HUB to acknowledge our colonial past, the harms that colonialism has brought to Indigenous and racialized people and also the continuing reality of unresolved land theft that Indigenous folks 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, and has historically been a meeting place for many Indigenous nations.
As part of our approach to understanding proper land acknowledgement practice, we sought the wisdom of veteran Indigenous activist Ellen Gabriel, who spoke spoke to us in Kanehsatake in 2021. We encourage everyone to eventually take 4 minutes to listen to her thoughts on the conventions of Land Acknowledgement.
