The CCMP recognizes that we operate on the unceded traditional lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) traditional territory. The Milton-Parc neighborhood is situated on the island known as Tiohtià:ke in the language of the Kanien'kehá:ka or Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin, a site that has historically been a meeting and exchange place for many Indigenous nations. As one of the six nations part of the Rotinonhsión:ni Confederacy, the Kanien’kehá:ka nation are known as the keepers of the Eastern Door as they are the easternmost nation. The Kanien'kehá:ka territory ranges from the Mohawk River Valley to the Saint-Laurent River and from the Hudson River to the Finger Lakes region. They have always been the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather, organize, and reside. These lands were stolen by settlers and continue to be exploited today. As such, the CCMP recognizes the privileges that we enjoy by being able to work on Tiohtià:ke.
The CCMP is dedicated to engage with the community of Milton Parc in a way that centers the historical and social context of the neighbourhood. The rise of homelessness facing Milton-Parc today specifically targets Inuit and Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge that this humanitarian crisis is a direct result of ongoing colonial dispossession and capitalist expansion. Despite institutional claims of reconciliation, Indigenous Peoples continue to be denied a meaningful place on their own land. This issue is enabled by current structures of institutional violence. The CCMP commits to actively supporting Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination by collaborating and financially supporting with Indigenous-led initiatives. We recognize that we are far from experts on so-called Canada’s colonial history; we thus strive to deepen our understanding of Indigenous struggles through our work. We remain open to learning and adapting our approach and methods as we grow. We will continue to support initiatives that directly address homelessness and food insecurity around our neighbourhood. Finally, we remain thankful to be able to work and live on this land but recognize the performative nature of land acknowledgements and the important work that still needs to happen to implement transformative change.
We encourage everyone to learn more about the history and the diverse communities in your neighbourhood, to seek ways to enact anti-colonial practices in your everyday life, and to contribute to current day initiatives for and by Indigenous Peoples.
