TMSI Indigenous acknowledges that the land on which we are privileged to gather is the traditional, never surrendered, unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation. The Algonquin Anishinabeg People have occupied and have been guardians of this land since time immemorial. We are sincerely grateful to have the opportunity to be present on this territory and extend our hand of friendship as a gesture of recognition, gratitude and appreciation for peaceful coexistence. We further acknowledge the Algonquin Anishinabeg’s longstanding relationship with their spiritual and natural connection to the rivers and all relations on this, their territory, which has never been surrendered and remains unceded. We acknowledge their traditional Knowledge Keepers, Elders and all Algonquin ancestors who have shared and continue to share the wisdom of the past as a cornerstone for understanding between our respective Nations for the present and future generations.
