Land Acknowledgement
Mareas acknowledges that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishanaabe.
Mareas gives honour and thanks to the Haudenosaunee and Anishanaabe nations as the traditional inhabitants of the lands where Mareas stands.
To say that is to acknowledge a debt to those who were here before us and to recognize our responsibility, as guests, to respect and honour the intimate relationship Indigenous peoples have to this land.
We seek new relationships with the original peoples of this land, one based in honour, deep respect, and lifelong learning.
May we be guided by love and right action as we transform of our personal and recognized relationships with our indigenous friends and neighbours.
