Acknowledging the Land at Durham College

Important

If you do not already have a land acknowledgement for your course, you may modify the one below so that it describes the First Peoples and treaties that preside over your geographic region.

Durham College acknowledges the lands and Peoples of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

Durham College is situated on the traditional lands of the First Peoples of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. These lands are covered under the Williams Treaties and rest within the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the Indigenous Peoples who care for and, through the treaty process, share the lands on which we live, learn, teach and prosper today.

To learn more about why we acknowledge the land and how to create your own Land Acknowledgement, visit the First Peoples Indigenous Centre.
