Land Acknowledgment West Hill Educare is located on the homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:no', members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. We acknowledge the painful history of dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó:no' people, to these lands and waters. WHE recognizes the Haudenosaunee flag as a symbol of unity and peace. |
