Who We Are

We recognize the Wickham Centre and Villa Saint-Martin are located on unceded traditional territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawks), historically known as a place of gathering and exchange between nations. Today, a diverse indigenous population, as well as other peoples, reside here. The ISCM is grateful for the opportunity to gather, live, and work on this land. We want to respect First Nations' past, present, and future ties to these lands, and to take them into account in our relations with First Peoples and others who live here. Our recognition is only valid if we are genuinely committed, each day and over the long term, to the important efforts of decolonization, reparation, and reconciliation.
