We recognize that many Indigenous nations have long standing relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that predate the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations.
The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
Welcome to York University's subject research guide for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples in Canada. This guide will introduce you to the processes and resources needed to successfully complete your papers and assignments.
Resources may use historical, unclear, or biased terminology which may not have been selected by Indigenous peoples.
