land acknowledgement diocese of montreal

The Anglican Diocese of Montreal acknowledges with respect that we live, work, and worship on the traditional, unceded territory of the Haudenosaunee, “People of the Longhouse”; the Anishinaabe, “People from Whence Lowered”; and the Wôbanakiak, “People of the Dawn.”  Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) is historically known as a gathering place for many Nations.  

 We acknowledge the colonial violence done by the Church and seek to build a spirit of genuine relationship and reconciliation with the First Nations, and all peoples within the Montreal community. 

 May God our Creator guide us in wisdom, justice, and peace.
