We live and work on the ancestral territories of the Saugeen Ojibway, in what is now called Ontario, Canada.

We wish to formally acknowledge the Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, known collectively as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.

We respect you and your connection to nature.
