The Toronto Island Community chapter of the Tree Trust would like to acknowledge that the land upon which this magnificent tree rests are the traditional treaty lands and territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live, work and play here, and in honouring this tree we are also honouring all who have come before and those yet to come. We also honour all the creatures who have made a home in this tree and who have taken shelter in and below it.
