Acknowledgements

It is with respect, humility and kindness that our team would like to acknowledge the land that nourishes us.

We acknowledge our interconnectedness and are thankful for the water that flows and life that grows each day. Our organization is comprised of a team from many diverse backgrounds who are situated on Indigenous lands across many First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. In this context, we approach our work with a shared responsibility in upholding treaty agreements and awareness of the ancestors who have come before us, along with the impact of our efforts for generations to come.

TakingITGlobal is a partner in the creation of Whose.land, a learning resource and mobile app to highlight Indigenous Nations, territories, and Indigenous communities. It includes educational videos, lesson plans, and provides a starting point for conversation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens about land, territorial recognition and land acknowledgement.
