The Algoma Community Foundation
Creating lasting change and loving relations for generations to come.
All our relations.
We wish to acknowledge that the land on which the Algoma Community Foundation activates our philanthropy is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation.
Over several millennia, the Anishinaabe and their ancestors have imparted significant democratic, economic and spiritual histories upon these lands grounded within a cultural pedagogy of interconnectedness, inclusion and reciprocity.
Today, Algoma is home to seven sovereign First Nations and the Sault Ste. Marie Métis Settlement whose relationship with settlers is defined by the Robinson-Huron and Robinson-Superior Treaties, as well as the Jay Treaty which establishes the rights of Indigenous peoples across the medicine line (US-Canada border).
ACF recognizes that Algoma was formed through a history of genocide driven by the settlement of Canada, and as treaty partners this means that we have an active role to play in dismantling colonialism, righting relations and upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples.
