Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we skate is the ancestral land of the Anishinaabek People. Almost all of this land was illegally taken and had to be re-purchased. Between two wars, and two treaties, the land and rights of the Anishinbaabek people were stripped away. It took until May 27, 1980 for the tribe to be re-recognized by the federal government as an independent government. We want to acknowledge in this location and many other locations in the Americas and elsewhere that native people are very much still here. We encourage our community to learn more about the Anishinaabe at: https://www.anishinabek.ca
