Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
Some of our JK students, Sophia, Kian, Arjun and Zen, share the structure they built “for creatures to play and rest in,” complete with stairs, paths, tunnels and secret hiding places.
“There are stairs for the frogs and lizards to go up and down. They climb the stairs with sticky feet.”
