We live and work on the land of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples who peaceably share and sustain the land and waters of the Great Lakes. We respect the treaty rights of this land and the self-determination and leadership of these sovereign nations. In our dedication to supporting workers, organizations, and communities, we recognize that colonialism has created a legacy of intergenerational trauma and collective grief that has disenfranchized Indigenous communities. And still, there is survival, cultural revival, and thriving. We know that many of the people accessing services from the organizations we support are Indigenous survivors of residential schools or intergenerational survivors. We commit to a culturally responsive approach that honours Indigenous grief and healing.
