Land Acknowledgement

York University recognizes that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which its campuses are located. We acknowledge that our Markham Campus is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinaabe [An-ish-in-aabe] Peoples and of the Haudenosaunee [Hoh-DEE-noh-SHoh-nee] Peoples. These territories are covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. The First Nations community in closest proximity to the City of Markham are the Chippewas [Chip-i-waas] of Georgina Island.
