Land acknowledgement
When you read these words, it is an opportunity to connect with your relationship to the land on which you are situated. This is an invitation for you to reflect on your relationship to its Indigenous and other peoples, the land, its waters, and all other living things.
I/We would like to begin by acknowledging that Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
You may discover more about Concordia’s land acknowledgement, including its history, at this webpage.
