The following territory recognition statements have been developed to assist organizations in the acknowledgement of the Treaty lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Click HERE for the MCFN Land Acknowledgement Guidelines
Please be advised: these land acknowledgements should not be “performed” by the First Nation or its members, as it should be presented by the outside organization as a sign of respect. The First Nation or it’s members would be happy to provide opening remarks at events on our Treaty Lands and Territory following a Land Acknowledgement.
Please email Darin.wybenga@mncfn.ca if you have any further questions.
