This land has been the territory of the Hurron-Wendat and Petun(Pee-tun) Nations, the Seneca and, more recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, the Toronto meeting place is still home to many Aboriginal people from Turtle Island. La Passerelle-IDÉ. is grateful for the opportunity to work in community. We are also aware of broken alliances and the need to strive for righteousness in all our relationships, sharing stories and telling the Truth from this place. La Passerelle-IDÉ. also recognizes the many people of African descent who are not settlers, but whose ancestors were forcibly displaced in the transatlantic slave trade, brought against their will and forced to work on these lands. We believe that the advancement of Indigenous sovereignty is deeply connected to Black liberation and we remain committed to advancing both.
