Indigenous Land Acknowledgment
Northumberland County respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the traditional and treaty territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg—the original stewards of these lands and waters, who have sustained their communities here for millennia.
Today, this region remains home to the Mississauga and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations. They are recognized as the modern Treaty and Aboriginal Rights holders in this area, and they continue to uphold their deep connection to this land, along with a legacy of environmental stewardship and responsibility.
“We respectfully acknowledge that Northumberland County is located on the Mississauga Anishinabeg territory and is the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinabeg.
Northumberland County respectfully acknowledges that the Mississauga Nation are the collective stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters in perpetuity, and that they continue to maintain this responsibility to ensure their health and integrity for generations to come.”
