Peacebuilders acknowledges that the land in which we live, and work has been the site of human activity since time immemorial. The land in which Peacebuilders organization is located and operates, is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and most recently the Mississauga’s of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant and agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Confederacy of the Ojibway and allied nations to peacefully share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

We are all treaty people. Many of us, have come here as settlers, immigrants, newcomers in this generation or generations past. We are mindful of broken covenants and we strive to make this right, with the land and with each other, and honour the rights of Indigenous people. As settlers, this recognition must be connected to our collective commitment; to not only acknowledge historical implications of violence and intergenerational trauma that residential schools, broken treaties and practices of colonization has had on the cultural traditions, identities and the lives of indigenous peoples.

We also acknowledge those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. And so, we honour and pay tribute to the ancestors of African Origin and descent whom also continue to live the impacts of colonization in solidarity with Indigenous peoples.
