Acknowledgement of Traditional Land
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates.

Reconnaissance du territoire traditionnel
Nous tenons à reconnaître le territoire sur lequel l’Université de Toronto est située. Depuis des millénaires, il s’agit du territoire traditionnel des Hurons-Wendats, des Sénécas et des Mississaugas de Credit. Aujourd’hui encore, ce lieu de rencontre abrite de nombreux peuples autochtones de l’île de la Tortue et nous sommes reconnaissants de pouvoir y travailler.
