We wish to acknowledge that the land on which we activate our philanthropy is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation, whose democratic, economic and spiritual histories upon these lands are grounded in 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.
