Honouring the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation, First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples

Ottawa, and the National Naval Reserve Monument, are built on un-ceded Anishinabe Algonquin territory.

The peoples of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this land.

We honour the peoples and land of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation.

We honour all First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this land.
