Ucard and U-Pass information Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass) Learn more about Indigenous Education and Cultural Services Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home. We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day.
These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship.
