Indigenous Education

Long version

“Trillium Lakelands District School Board, as a learning organization, acknowledges that we learn, live, and work on the traditional lands and waters of the Ojibway (Oh-jib-way) Nation and the Huron (Hur-on) / Wendat (When-dat) Nation, that now includes communities from the Mohawk Nation, the Pottawatomi (Pot-a-watt-a-me) Nation and the Métis (May-tee)  Nation of Ontario. 

Under the One Dish With One Spoon Treaty, the Haudenosaunee (Hoden-oh-show-nee) Confederacy and the Anishinaabe (An-ish-i-na-bay) Peoples agreed to share and care for this territory for the benefit of future generations. We acknowledge their stewardship throughout the ages.”
