ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Black Mallard of Essex County acknowledges that this land on which we share our words is the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomie Peoples, and specifically, the traditional territory of the Caldwell First Nation. We value the significant historical and contemporary contributions of local and regional First Nations and all of the Original Peoples of Turtle Island. We are grateful for the opportunities to engage in the process of learning how to be a better treaty partner.
