The work that the RCC supports takes place on the original, treaty, and unceded territories, nations and homelands of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. As we work to expand our impact across Turtle Island, we are committed to ensure our efforts are informed by Truth and Reconciliation and natural laws that recognize the inextricable kinship between original peoples and these lands we call home. We are striving to find new ways of enhancing the agency and autonomy of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples to meaningfully collaborate and uphold their responsibilities to the lands, forests and landscapes. Our intent reflects the need to deepen the impact in communities, build respectful relations, and to walk softly upon the Earth.
