about

Land Acknowledgment.

lyrics

To the original caretakers of this land which we stand
Toronto Tkaronto
The meeting place
Where the trees meet the water
And all who were here thousands of years before us
To the Wendat First Nations
And to their allies
The Anishinaabe
And to the Anishinaabe currently known as the Mississauga currently residing on New Credit now recognized as The Credit
Mississaagiin means
By the big river mouth
And to Indigenous languages
That is where this name comes from
The Wendat and the Haudensaunee
And to the peace that was made between
The three Fires Confederacy and the Six Nations Confederacy
And to Wampum Belts
Purple and white wampum belts
The Dish with one spoon
Wampum belts
The Covenant Chain
Wampum Belts
And to agreements that extended beyond here
Red
Green
And blue
Because as long as the rivers flow
As long as the grass grows
As long as the sun rises and sets
Miigwetch
Miigwetch
Miigwetch
Miigwetch
