The land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Wendat, Anishinabek  Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, and Alderville First Nations and the Métis (may-tee) Nation. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The treaties that were signed for this particular parcel of land are collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties, finally settled in 2018.

Our community at Grace is committed to walking in right relations with our Indigenous relatives. We strive to listen first, to learn, and to advocate for justice.
