Personal Development Book Club - Fruits from the Roots

Land & Ancestral Acknowledgement

FFR is located in the City of Markham, Ontario. We acknowledge the traditional territories of Indigenious Peoples and their commitment to the stewardship of the land. We acknowledge the communities in circle. The North, West, South and Eastern Directions, and Haudenosaunee, Huron,-Wendat, Anishnabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the Mississaugas of the Credit peoples.

We further acknowledge the immigrants either in this generation or in generations past and those who came here involuntarily, particularly as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. We must also recognize the fact that this colonial nation is founded in historic and ongoing dispossession of this land’s indigenous peoples, and African descendant peoples.

As an organization that centres on social justice, we feel it is critical to be informed on the past and the ongoing consequences of colonialism. We encourage everyone to learn about the history of these lands. FFR gives thanks for the Treaty land that provides oppurtunity to work and promote healing in this region. May we continue to aspire to nurture and care for this Treaty land and each other fruitfully.
