Land Acknowledgement
Western University is situated on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapeewak and Chonnonton Nations, who have longstanding relationships to the land and region of southwestern Ontario and the City of London. The local First Nation communities of this area include Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames, and Munsee Delaware Nation. This land is also connected to London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Wampum.
