Land Acknowledgement
At Sacredhand Canada, we acknowledge that the work we do takes place on traditional Indigenous territories. These lands have been home to Indigenous nations for thousands of years, long before settlers arrived, and continue to be a living part of their culture, heritage, and identity. We are committed to recognizing the Treaty and Traditional Territories of the Indigenous peoples whose relationship to this land is both legal and spiritual. This includes the [insert name of local Indigenous Nations and Treaties where your organization operates] and all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who continue to live and work on this land.
By acknowledging the land, we honor the longstanding presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples, and we express our gratitude for their stewardship of the land we now benefit from. This act of acknowledgment is not simply a gesture of respect, but a crucial step in our commitment to the ongoing process of reconciliation. We recognize that the land we stand on is tied to centuries of history, displacement, and broken promises, and we are dedicated to playing a part in repairing those relationships.
Commitment to Reconciliation
At Sacredhand Canada, we deeply believe in the principle that “We Rise by Lifting Others.” Our commitment to reconciliation reflects this belief, as we work to support and uplift Indigenous communities through actions that go beyond land acknowledgements. We recognize that reconciliation is not a one-time act, but a continuous journey of understanding, justice, and healing.
As part of our mission, we are actively educating ourselves and others about the true history of Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples, the legacy of colonization, and the current challenges faced by these communities. We pledge to uphold Treaty Rights, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and create a space where the voices of Indigenous peoples are heard, respected, and acted upon. Our goal is to foster an inclusive environment where Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities can come together to build a more equitable and just society.
