Land Acknowledgment

The Puslinch community is situated on the traditional lands of the Iroquois/Haudenosaunee Peoples, specifically on the territory of the Neutral First Nation.  We stand on land covered by the 1701 Nanfan Treaty between the Crown and the Haudenosaunee.

We value the contributions and resilience of the Indigenous peoples whose strong connection to Turtle Island is integral to its conservation.  From their knowledge, practices, and relationship to nature, we are learning how best to be positive stewards of this land and its resources.

We recognize the need to turn our commitments into ongoing actions, while acknowledging historical injustices, and working towards a future focused on respect, reciprocity, and a renewed connection with the natural world.
