- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2020
- From exploring the Indigenous origins of the city’s name, to the murder of a Mississauga chief that nearly caused all-out war, “Acknowledgment” sheds light on how Indigenous people’s lives and histories have shaped Toronto’s origins and asks the question; in this era of reconciliation, how do we acknowledge our collective history?

Wow. Thank you so much for bringing more attention to this.
This production is very well done. So inspiring. Great everyone on this team 👏
Makes me tremble. Thank you for this powerful Awakening moment and powerful message.
This was so powerful. Thank you. Everyone needs to understand the history of the land we stand on. This broke my heart but inspired my learning.
I wish that a video was made for each city in Canada explaining the history for each.
Thank you so much for this film. It's such a thoughtful piece diving deep into those very words of acknowledgment we say. To go beyond those words and get a glimpse of the real history of what those words mean was so eye-opening.
As Torontonians we all need know this information. be grateful to the indigenous peoples and respect the land.
This video takes land acknowledgment to a deeper level of understanding and serves as a starting point for me to reach into the past and gain even more perspective. Thank you for this important contribution.
Thank you. This is important to understand. I will teach my daughters.
Powerful, beautifully and thoughtfully constructed provocative video that should be required viewing for anyone making a public land acknowledgement to really think about what they are saying, and the meaning behind the message. Well done to filmmaker Jon B Elliott and all the team. I will share this video broadly with friends, family and colleagues.

Really heartbreaking injustice history of Toronto and Mississauga.
I think of the buried trade iron at Mantle, south of Stouffville, before the Wendat disappeared.

did you emerge out of the soil??? we are all colonizers we are all settlers? do you teach your children about the white slaves who came from Ireland to build the bridges? or the italians who built the stone walls or houses?
I don't think they said all european people are colonizers
