Oxfam Land Acknowledgement

Oxfam Canada acknowledges the historical and ongoing oppression and colonization of all Indigenous Peoples, cultures and lands in what we now know as Canada. We commit to acting in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in their struggles for self-determination and decolonization and in support of the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015) and the Calls for Justice of the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (2019).

Oxfam Canada’s offices are located on the unceded, unsurrendered traditional territories of the Anishinabe Algonquin peoples. We recognize the privilege of operating on lands that these peoples have nurtured since time immemorial. As settlers on these lands, we commit to walking in solidarity with our host nations and according to Oxfam’s values of equality, empowerment, solidarity, inclusiveness, accountability and courage.
