Following extensive consultation with the area's Indigenous communities, the Greater Essex County District School Board's (GECDSB) Board of Trustees has adopted a formal acknowledgement and recognition of the Indigenous lands on which our Board resides.

Land acknowledgement statement

GECDSB open minds logo

"We acknowledge that we are on land and surrounded by water, originally inhabited by Indigenous Peoples who have travelled this area since time immemorial. This territory is within the lands honoured by the Wampum Treaties; agreements between the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Lenni Lenape and allied Nations to peacefully share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Specifically, we would like to acknowledge the presence of the Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi) and Huron/Wendat Peoples. We are dedicated to honouring Indigenous history and culture while remaining committed to moving forward respectfully with all First Nations, Inuit and Métis."
