Land Acknowledgement
Tay Township Land Acknowledgement
The Township of Tay recognizes that it is located on the traditional and territorial lands of the Anishinabek people, now known as the Chippewa Tri-Council of Beausoleil First Nation, Georgina Island First Nation, and Rama First Nation. This territory is within the pre-confederation Treaty 5 and Treaty 16, and within the Williams Treaties of 1923. Once the traditional territory of the Wendat and the historic homelands of the Métis, Tay Township is proud to be home to a diverse community of many Indigenous peoples. We all share the responsibility to be caretakers and stewards of these lands and waters, and promise to ensure their health and integrity, for future generations.
Using the Land Acknowledgement
Tay Township reads the Land Acknowledgement during National Indigenous History Month and during the Council Inaugural.
Territorial Land Acknowledgement
The Culture Alliance has created a Territorial Land Acknowledgment for the Heart of Georgian Bay region and grants permission to those in our area to adopt and use it as their own. It is currently available in English, French and Michif.
