We acknowledge that we are gathered here today on the traditional and unceded land of the Algonquin Anishinaabe People, who have lived and thrived on this ancestral land since the beginning itself.
As we gather here to learn, we must recognize and appreciate the teachings of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. They taught us to be kind, not only to each other but to the land itself. Many of our modern ways of life have evolved from the traditional methods of the Indigenous peoples. Findlay Creek is situated on the south Nation river watershed. This is an important natural ecosystem that must be protected through on-going dialogue with Indigenous peoples. An important lesson of Canada's First Peoples is that no matter how different someone is, instead of repressing said differences we should celebrate them. Diversity is what makes our country special and we are extremely fortunate to be part of a school that celebrates so many diverse cultures.
