We confront the truth that our company operates on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabek Nation. This acknowledgment demands us to reckon with the profound impact of colonization on Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island. We recognize that our presence here is a result of a history that saw dispossession, erasure, and systemic injustice inflicted upon the original caretakers of this land.

In acknowledging our colonial ancestry, we are acutely aware of the responsibility we bear in addressing the wrongs of the past and striving for a just future. We acknowledge that the path to reconciliation is long and complex, requiring both humility and courage. We are committed to dismantling the colonial frameworks that have perpetuated inequality and to amplify Indigenous voices and perspectives.

Our commitment extends beyond words. We are driven to actively learn from Indigenous communities, acknowledging their sovereign knowledge systems and the deep wisdom they offer. We are resolute in supporting initiatives that uplift Indigenous cultural resurgence, land stewardship, and self-determination.

This acknowledgement is a reminder that our work is entwined with the quest for justice, healing, and transformation. We stand with Indigenous peoples as allies, recognizing that the pursuit of equity, respect, and collaboration must guide our every action.

May this acknowledgement propel us towards a future where we honor the land, honor the people, and honor the truth of our shared history. Let us work collectively to rectify the past, to forge new relationships, and to co-create a world that celebrates the richness of Indigenous cultures and rights.
