Land Acknowledgement

The Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, and Haliburton respectfully recognizes that our organization is located on the treaty and ancestral territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishnaabeg people who were known as peacemakers among Indigenous Nations.

We are grateful to the original stewards of this land.

Land acknowledgements have been a sign of mutual respect and cooperation between Indigenous Peoples for centuries.

Central to this exchange is a recognition of shared responsibility to take care of the land for future generations. We are honoured to share in this tradition.

Treaties between Indigenous Peoples and institutions, which have become known collectively as the Williams Treaties, led to centuries of disruption and displacement. We know that the intersection of Indigenous and settler-colonial pasts has caused deep generational harm.

It is our goal for this land acknowledgement to be an active, living statement of intent which will build a bridge toward greater understanding and inclusion.

This is the start of a conversation.  We intend to listen and to learn.
