For thousands of years First Nations people have walked this land. Their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. We are gathered on the traditional lands of Serpent River and Mississagi people and acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages. May we live with respect on this land and live in peace and friendship with its people.

What Does This Say?  This message is part of a phrase.

​The most recent changes to the United Church of Canada crest includes the addition of the Mohawk phrase "Akwe Nia'Tetewá:neren"
[aw gway--  nyah day day waw-- nay renh], which means "All my relations."
