Respecting Our Earth and Ancestors

We recognize the Traditional Lands and Waters of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and the Huron-Wendat, and we honour our enduring relationship with this sacred Earth. We also honour our Ancestors who persistently upheld Indigenous values now crucial to the health and well-being of the planet.

We uphold the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Seven Ancestral Teachings

These 7 ancestral values inspire our conduct as human beings and bring us in relationship with the Earth.
