Waterloo North Mennonite Church acknowledges that we are worshipping on the ancestral and treaty territory of the Original Peoples of the Neutral Nation, the Haudenosaunee of the Grand River and the Anishnaabeg People of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize today that we have benefitted from the colonial violence that has sought to erase Indigenous histories, the breaking of treaties and the theft of land and funds.

We pledge to work for justice and reconciliation and to uphold our responsibilities within the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784 and the Between the Lakes Treaty of 1792.
