Land Acknowledgment

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Henry N.R. Jackman Faculty of Law operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
