Land Acknowledgement

In honour and in solidarity with the youth with whom we work, we gratefully and explicitly recognize that the Positive Space Network operates on the stolen lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosunee, Neutral nations and Mississaugas of the credit. This land is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

This territory is covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant which is an agreement between the Haudenosaunee confederacy, the Ojibwe confederacy and allied nations. This agreement is a commitment that no one group of people will take more than they need. We seek to restore this covenant, which has been broken.

It is important to remember that treaties are ongoing and relevant today as we make steps towards reconciliation. We are all treaty people.

As part of this land acknowledgment, PSN commits to take initiative by creating space and providing support for 2-Spirit and LGBTQ+ Indigenous youth in all of our programs. The question of how to best show up is ongoing.

We encourage every youth, parent and family that we serve, and every team member and community partner with whom we work to take time to learn about the lands where they live and work, and to explore this Indigenous Ally Toolkit and put these learnings into action today, tomorrow and every day thereafter.
