Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy, which includes the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. Windsor and Essex County sit on land that has been cared for by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years and is part of the ancestral and contemporary homeland of many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities.
This area is within the lands governed by the McKee Treaty of 1790, and we recognize the long history of treaty-making that binds us in responsibility to each other. We honour the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge of the Indigenous peoples who continue to live and thrive in this region.
At JMCC, where we support and celebrate the unique abilities of every child, we are grateful to live and work on these lands and we commit to learning from the past, engaging in meaningful reconciliation, and supporting Indigenous sovereignty and resurgence.
