Beaconsfield United Church is situated within the traditional and unceded territories of the Kanien’keha:ka, also known as the Mohawk, first nation. They have long been the keepers of this land and of sacred teachings handed down through generations. As a church, it is important to us to acknowledge the role the United Church of Canada has played in the oppression of Indigenous peoples. Acknowledging the land we occupy is one part of making a commitment to live respectfully with the original inhabitants of this land, and to support their ongoing struggle against the harms done by colonialism. We encourage you to take some time today (and every day) to reflect on your relationship with the land you live on and the indigenous communities of that area.
One way that we can take tangible action to address the harms colonialism has inflicted on Indigenous peoples is to contribute to the Healing Fund, which provides grants to support healing initiatives in Indigenous communities to address the ongoing impacts of the residential school system.
