Land Acknowledgement
The land that is known as Chatham-Kent today was established as part of Treaty #2, the McKee Purchase Treaty of 1790 where land was inhabited by the Three Fires Confederacy: the Odawa, Potawatomi and Ojibwe. We would like to acknowledge the First Nations armies who's participation in the War of 1812 were critical in aiding and protecting Downtown Chatham during the early Canadian conflict. As we reflect on this history, we commit to fostering respectful relationships and working towards reconciliation.
