Land Acknowledgement 

UPlift Black would like to acknowledge that our organization is based in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek. We would also like to acknowledge the Wendat Nation (Huron) who occupied these lands prior to the middle of the 17th century.

 

UPlift Black has made a commitment to be ongoing participants in the reconciliation process by participating in education and awareness about the history of Indigenous people across
Turtle Island. 

 

We believe, It is important that we all take time to educate ourselves about the history of the people that first resided in this country, and walk in a way that is respectful of that history as well as Indigenous people's presence on this land. At UPlift Black, we are dedicated to honouring Indigenous history and culture and committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, reconciliation, reparations and respect with all First Nation, Métis and Inuit people across Turtle Island.

 

Reconciliation is the responsibility of all people that reside on Turtle Island.
