Downtown Legal Services acknowledges that the  land on which we operate has for thousands of years been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. 

We know that acknowledging the traditional and current Indigenous Peoples of the land is a small step in facing the history and present realities of colonialism in Canada. We continue to explore meaningful ways to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.

You can find more information on the Indigenous Peoples on whose traditional lands our University is situated at the following websites: Huron Wendat Council , Seneca, Mississauga of the Credit First Nation. If you have ideas for other useful websites, we welcome suggestions.
