YorkU Fossil Free recognizes that York University is a settler institution located on traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples that have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that long precede the establishment of the university.

 

The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabewaki, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Wendake-Nionwentsio. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities from across Turtle Island.

 

We acknowledge the direct role that the fossil fuel industry plays in exploiting Indigenous communities across Canada and the lands on which many Indigenous people reside. We strive to recognize and redress the effects of colonialism in our own work.
