Territorial acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the lands and waters where most of us live and where our universities are located—Université de Montréal, McGill University and Concordia University—are the traditional and unceded territories of Indigenous peoples. The Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation call Tiohtiá:ke the site commonly known as Montréal. Since long before the arrival of European settlers, this territory has been and continues to be a gathering place for many Indigenous peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within our communities.
As part of our land acknowledgement, we at UNIQUE wish to educate ourselves in the rich history and culture of the indigenous people living in and around Tiohtiá:ke (Montréal). We invite you to join us in this endeavour, and have provided a few links to potentially useful resources.
