Land Acknowledgment

The purpose of a land acknowledgement is to recognize, respect and affirm the ongoing relationship between Indigenous people and the land. Land acknowledgements also raise awareness about the Indigenous histories, perspectives and experiences that are often suppressed or forgotten. Therefore, RTS would like to acknowledge the land on which RTS operates. Historically, this was the land of the Onöndowa’ga:’ (ON-on-DAH-gah) Nation, a member of the Haudenosaunee (ho-DEE-no-Sho-nee) also known as the Six Nations Confederacy; an alliance of native nations united for hundreds of years by law, traditions, beliefs, and cultural values. We are grateful for the opportunities to reconnect and reciprocate a strong and compassionate relationship with the land and its indigenous communities.
