LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Loved Management is located in Tkaronto, now known as Toronto, which in Mohawk means ‘where there are trees standing in the water”. Today, Tkaronto is covered under Treaty #13 and the Williams Treaties. It is the traditional territory of many First Peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. 

This territory is part of ‘the Dish with One Spoon’ wampum, a Treaty made between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee, where nations entered into an agreement to protect the land and responsibly care for its resources in harmony together.

Many of us call this place home; whether we came here as settlers, as migrants either in this generation or in generations past, and those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery,

It is important to acknowledge the land because growing up as a third-generation immigrant in Canada, the traditional names of the territories were never mentioned. Indigenous people and their stories were talked about as something in the past, and all the struggles they faced were dismissed. It is easier to deny the rights of Indigenous people and our complicity in upholding the current system of oppression if we historicize their struggles and pretend they don’t exist.

I would also like to take this opportunity to commit to the ongoing battle of advancing anti-racism and decolonization while centring the voices, leadership, and joy of Black, Indigenous, racialized, trans, and non-binary communities.
