CUPE 2484 Land Acknowledgment

The CUPE 2484 office is Located ON UNCEDED LAND KNOWN COLONIALLY AS Toronto, which is covered by Treaty 13 and the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant; an agreement to peaceably and respectfully share resources.

We ACKNOWLEDGE THIS LAND IS home to many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. It is now home to many diverse first nations, including Inuit and Métis. We gratefully acknowledge these Indigenous nations for their guardianship of this land, from the beginning to present day.

CUPE 2484 IS committed to bearing witness and participating in the resurgence of Indigenous peoples, including supporting efforts for truth & reconciliation and the missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, and 2 spirited folks from coast to coast to coast. We also advocate for the decolonization of early years pedagogy and for Indigenous-led community care for all children through collaboration and repairing connections with the land.
