Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Dixon Hall’s programs and offices sit 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. We also acknowledge that Tkaronto, now known as Toronto, is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

Ancestral Acknowledgement

We all share our connection to the treaties that shape our nation, whether we arrived as settlers, immigrants, or newcomers in this current generation or in generations long past. It’s important to recognize that some among us have ancestral roots tied to the involuntary migration of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. Therefore, we also extend our respect and recognition to the ancestors of African Origin and Descent, honouring their enduring legacy.
