Truth, Reconciliation and The Library’s Ongoing Work
Waterloo Public Library is located on the Haldimand Tract, land the Haudenosaunee have longstanding relationships with and rights to, recognized in the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation. Waterloo is within the ancestral territory of the Anishnaabe, Haudenosaunee and Chonnonton Peoples who cared for it for many generations before European settlement. We acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today.
Reconciliation with Indigenous communities is our work to do. We commit to action. To learning and decision-making that recognizes the ongoing impacts of colonialism, to building respectful and reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities and to creating space for Indigenous voices, knowledge systems and community-led priorities.
