Honouring the Land and People

Laurentian University is located on the traditional Anishinaabe territory of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and Wahnapitae First Nation. We are situated within the boundaries of the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850. We acknowledge those who came before us and honour those who are the caretakers of this land and the waters.
