Land Acknowledgement

The Tribune is situated on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka; a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst many First Nations, including the Kanien’kehá:ka of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinaabeg, among others. The Tribune honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters. James McGill, our university’s namesake, rose to power, property, and fortune, off of colonial trade and his enslavement of at least two Indigenous children, and three people of African descent. We must acknowledge the five people he enslaved, Jack, Sarah, Marie-Louise, and Marie Potamiane, and one whose name has not been uncovered, who do not receive the same recognition. It is essential to acknowledge McGill’s inextricable ties to slavery and colonialism, and its continued impact on journalism, especially as it has been used to justify relations of domination, erase racial and settler-colonial injustice, and conceal stories that need to be told. This land acknowledgement derives information from Dr. Charmaine Nelson and her students’ research, “Slavery and McGill University: Bicentenary Recommendations.” For more resources and information, consult this link: linktr.ee/mcgilltribuneresources.
