Land Acknowledgement
The EEAST Conference team recognizes that we are all treaty people and acknowledge that the York Region District School Board is located on the lands of two treaties. These treaties have been signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the First Nations of the Williams Treaties who are: the Mississaugas of Alderville, Curve Lake, Hiawatha, Scugog Island; and the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Rama, and Georgina Island.
​
We also acknowledge those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent.
We would like to note that land acknowledgements are not enough in working towards anti-oppression and decolonization. This written statement is merely a reminder to engage in concrete approaches to support Indigenous and Black communities.
