The IDN recognizes the Kanien'kehá:ka nations as traditional custodians of the lands on which our work is based. We also recognize the traditional ties to this land of the Anishinaabe. As Tio'tia:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal continues to be a gathering place for First Peoples from all directions, as it has for millenia, we work to support the success of Indigenous students and their communities for generations to come.
