Land Acknowledgement

As a partner in the First Voice Urban Indigenous Coalition, we acknowledge that St. John’s is home to a rich, diverse, and vibrant urban Indigenous community. Located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Beothuk, the lands and waters in and around the City have traditionally served as a gathering place for the Mi’kmaq. The broader region of Newfoundland and Labrador continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis from across Turtle Island. We honour and pay respect to the past, present, and future caretakers of these territories.
