Exploring the diverse perspectives of our shared history through the stories we tell.
The Land On Which We Live
The banks of the O:se Kenhionhata:tie, Fergus Ontario.
Those of us involved in Path Forward Productions are grateful to be able to live and work along the banks of the
O:se Kenhionhata:tie (Grand River). We do so on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe and the Métis peoples. Specifically, we live on the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations and The Six Nations of the Grand River.
This land is blessed to be home to many other Indigenous peoples who have come here from all parts of Turtle Island.
This land is subject to the Haldimand Treaty of 1784 as well as the Simcoe Patent – Treaty 4, 1793
“Together, Canadians must do more than just talk about reconciliation; we must learn how to practise reconciliation in our everyday lives - within ourselves and our families, and in our communities, governments, places of worship, schools, and workplaces. To do so constructively, Canadians must remain committed to the ongoing work of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships.”
