All of the areas we visit across Ontario are situated on lands with deep histories and ongoing connections to Indigenous Nations, whose mutual relationships date back to time immemorial. Often rooted in a deep respect for the land, these predate European colonization and offer values that we strive to follow.
At Wilderness Union, we recognize that being on these lands carries a responsibility to learn and reflect. We use the Native Land map to better understand the territories we explore. We’ve found that a deeper understanding of the land’s history leads to a more robust appreciation of our time in nature and a change to how we behave in it. We strongly encourage you to take a moment to explore the resources available on that site- there is a ton of fantastic information.
For this adventure specifically, we’ll be in Oakville, which is on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and is also recognized as being historically part of the lands of the Anishinaabe, Attawandaron, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Additionally, the modern-day area is home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
