Land Acknowledgement
Southern Georgian Bay Farmers Markets acknowledges and recognizes that its operations and activities are located on land which is the traditional and treaty territory of the Anishinabek people, now known as the Chippewa Tri-Council comprising the Beausoleil First Nation, Rama First Nation and the Georgina Island First Nation. This territory is within the pre-confederation Treaty 5 and Treaty 16, and included within the Williams Treaties of 1923. Several Treaties of Peace were made on a Nation to Nation basis between the Crown and the Anishinaabek and the Haudenosaunee peoples. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt and the Five Council Fire Wampum Belt speak upon the peace agreements between these two nations. Southern Georgian Bay Farmers Markets recognizes the fact that its business operations are carried out and located on the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the historic homelands of the Métis.
