Land Acknowledgement
Western University is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron peoples, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.
This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of our society. Their distinct rights are an important part of our institutional responsibility to Reconciliation, and they are essential partners as we continue our commitment to increasing Indigenous voices and presence across all levels of community life, work, study and research.
Back-of-book
Our actions are tied together. We can all do something to improve this world. It’s really that simple. We just have to do it.
