Land Acknowledgement
We begin by acknowledging the land on which Diabetes Action Canada operates. For thousands of years, this land has been the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the Credit, and it remains home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples today.
To the Indigenous Peoples who have been the stewards of the lands where our Network members reside and work, we extend our deepest respect and affirm our commitment to fostering understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures, histories, and knowledge of Indigenous communities. We recognize our responsibility and accountability in advancing the ongoing reconciliation process and are grateful for the privilege to work and learn on these lands.
