We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Church of St. Mary Magdalene stands. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, the Anishinaabe and the Mississaugas of the Credit. This land is part of the Dish with One spoon Treaty, and The Two Row Wampum Belt. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to care for the plants and creatures provided by the Creator, and to live and worship on this land.

FOR THE HISTORY BEHIND THIS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT.
