Land Acknowledgment

​

We humbly acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Long before Toronto became the diverse city it is today, these lands were home to Indigenous communities who have cared for them since time immemorial. As Filipino-Canadians, we recognize that our journey to this land is part of a larger history, one that connects us to the struggles and resilience of Indigenous Peoples. Acknowledging this truth is not just a formality; it is a responsibility. It is a commitment to learning, honouring, and standing in solidarity with those whose lands we now call home. For those of us on converging journeys of mental health and reconciliation, Pinoy Wellness encourages you to engage with the 94 Calls to Action, from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada by paying particular attention to these calls to action, as they pertain to mental health.   
​

How are we connected? Filipinos have been in what’s currently called Canada for longer than many realize. Benson Flores was the first documented Filipino immigrant who came to British Columbia in 1861, even before that province became part of Canada.  Like Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, our ancestors knew what it meant to be displaced, to hold on to culture despite oppression, and to build a life in a place that was not always welcoming. Today, as we thrive and contribute to the fabric of this country, we must also remember that our presence is tied to a history of colonization; both our own and that of Indigenous Peoples. By acknowledging this history, we honour our shared resilience and take an active role in reconciliation, ensuring that we move forward with respect, unity, and a deep appreciation for those who have long been stewards on these lands.
