We recognize that many Indigenous nations have longstanding relationships with
the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the
establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the
traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has
been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the
Huron-Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous Peoples. We
acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First
Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt
Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
