LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to acknowledge that the City of Hamilton is situated in the traditional territories of Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant,  which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and  Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great  Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the  Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the  Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
