“We are grateful to work on the unceded territory of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and Temagami First Nation who represent the Original People of N’dakimenan.

”Our Creation Story tells us that 8000 years ago, the Creator placed us at Ishpatina Ridge, the highest point of land in what is now called Ontario. This timeline corresponds to the receding glaciers. Six thousand of those years have been corroborated by science, showing our continuous occupation.””
— Temagami First Nation
