Shade of Miti acknowledges the land and waterways on which we operate is situated on the traditional territories of many nations including the Anishinaabek, Haundenosaunee, Huron-Wendat and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We recognize the many Nations of Indigenous People who currently live on this land, have spent time here, and the ancestors who have hunted, gathered, and cared for this land and waterways. We also acknowledge the many people of African descent who are not settlers, but whose ancestors were forcibly displaced in the transatlantic and domestic slave trade and made to work these lands. We are on a continued journey of understanding and practicing how we can demonstrate allyship for Black liberation and Indigenous sovereignty.
