Our Land Acknowledgement - Student Affairs

Our Land Acknowledgement

With the utmost respect and gratitude, we acknowledge and honor the Indigenous peoples who have been the stewards of the lands and waters that sustain us all. The University of Guelph's campuses and research stations are situated on the ancestral, traditional, unceded, and treaty lands and territories of the Anishinaabeg, Hodinohso:ni, Lūnaapéewak, Huron-Wendat, and Attawandaron peoples. Today, these lands are home to a vibrant diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. 

Student Affairs aims to responsibly steward community resources for the students we serve. We pay tribute to the Dish with One Spoon Covenant, promoting peaceful coexistence, resource sharing and mutual responsibility, symbolized by the dish with one spoon. We understand the importance of translating these commitments into ongoing actions, acknowledging the historical injustices, and working towards building a better future together.
