HRHF Land Acknowledgement
As settlers on this land, we acknowledge that Humber River Hospital is situated in the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-wendat (Wyandot) territory. This land was part of Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13. The Humber River has a long history. The Toronto Carrying-Place Trail, also known as the Humber Portage and the Toronto Passage, was a major portage route in Ontario, Canada, linking Lake Ontario with Lake Simcoe and the northern Great Lakes and was used by First Nations people for thousands of years to travel between Georgian Bay or Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario. The Mississaugas called the Humber River Cobechenonk, which means ‘leave the canoes and go back’.
As descendants of immigrants who settled on this land, we acknowledge the immense harm we have caused to Indigenous Peoples and commit to learning more about the First Nations culture to continue to inform ourselves of this harm.
