We acknowledge that we occupy the traditional territory of the Anishinabek Nation, and in Chatham-Kent specifically, the territories of the Delaware Nation and Walpole Island Nation. As family historians we have all answered the call to discover those who came before us – to share their names, to tell their stories, to remember them. Our ancestors live on because we live on, and we have made it our mission to ensure that no one is forgotten. No matter how difficult the history is, it needs to be shared, so we can all learn and do better and be supporters of our local Indigenous communities.
