Land Acknowledgement

LAMP Community Health Centre and our affiliate locations of service are situated on the traditional, unceded territories of numerous Indigenous Peoples.  We would like to express specific acknowledgement of the historical and enduring presence of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Ojibwe/Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat.  These lands are now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.  We recognize our services are provided on land covered by various treaties, and affirm our intention to honour these treaties and the Indigenous Peoples to whom this land rightfully belongs. 

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

As an organization, we commit to advancing health equity for Indigenous communities.  You can learn more by reading our Strategic Directions here.

We invite our LAMP community – including our staff, community members, clients, participants, board members, and partners – to reflect on their own positionality, and consider how they can contribute to advancing reconciliation.

What is a land acknowledgement?

Land acknowledgements (also known as territorial acknowledgements) are short statements that recognize both the land and the Indigenous people who lived – and in many situations continue to live – on the land prior to Canada’s colonial history (according to the Canadian Encyclopedia). They offer a short story from the stand point of the Indigenous people who grew and evolved from the land.

Following the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action in 2015 and the final National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls report in 2019, many non-Indigenous people and organizations began sharing land acknowledgement statements as a step towards learning the true history of Canada and beginning the journey to Reconciliation.

Chippewa (Chi-puh-waa)
Haudenosaunee (Hode-en-o-show-nee)
Wendat (Wawn-dat)
Métis (Maey-Tee)

How to deliver and respond to a land acknowledgement

Meaningfully honouring the land and the Indigenous Peoples who call (and have called) the area their home long before the arrival of settlers is an important act of Reconciliation.

Whether reading or listening to a land acknowledgement statement, you should take time to reflect on the land you are on, learn about the Indigenous Peoples (both past and present) of the area and consider other ways to express your ongoing commitment to Reconciliation. (link to report on reconciliation)

Who should read a land acknowledgement statement?

Given that a land acknowledgement is a way of recognizing and expressing gratitude to Indigenous communities for the use of their land, a person identifying as Indigenous should not be asked or held responsible for delivering a land acknowledgement statement. A land acknowledgement is a fundamental step towards Reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples and settlers.
