Land Acknowledgement
At Umi Psychotherapy, we acknowledge that we practice therapy on the traditional and treaty lands of the Huron-Wendat (Hyoo-ron Wen-dat), Haudenosaunee (Hoh-deh-no-show-mee), Anishinaabek (An-ish-in-ah-bek) Nations, and Mississauga Peoples. This land is part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
We recognize the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous Peoples on these lands, and we respect the history, spirituality, and cultures of the original stewards of this territory. As we work towards healing and personal growth, we honour the wisdom and resilience of Indigenous communities and commit to practicing cultural humility in our therapeutic work.
By acknowledging this land, we seek to foster a spirit of reconciliation and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals we serve.
