Indigenous Land Acknowledgment

Northumberland County, which includes Cobourg and Port Hope, is located on the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinabeg.

Northumberland Learning Connection events held in-person begin with a land acknowledgment to recognize and show respect to the traditional keepers of this land - Indigenous peoples who first lived, and currently live, on the land where we live and work:

We respectfully acknowledge that Northumberland County is located on the Mississauga Anishinabeg territory and is the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinabeg.

Northumberland County respectfully acknowledges that the Mississauga Nation are the collective stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters in perpetuity, and that they continue to maintain this responsibility to ensure their health and integrity for generations to come.
