dialogue grandmother and grandson discussing about the rift between the indian lifestyle and culture today
Answers
Answer:
We acknowledge that Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of this land. For thousands of years, they have developed distinct languages, cultures and ways of life, and also rich laws and legal traditions. The Ontario Human Rights Commission’s offices in downtown Toronto are in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek of the Mississaugas of the New Credit. We also give respect to the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.
We recognize the long history and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, and support their vision of living justly in harmony with one another and in all our relations.
The Indigenous Peoples and Human Rights Dialogue would not have been possible without the significant efforts and guidance of the Organizing Panel, whose members contributed their wisdom every step of the way. We sincerely thank:
Karen Drake, Ontario Human Rights Commissioner and Associate Professor, Osgoode Hall Law School
Jeffery Hewitt, Assistant Professor, University of Windsor Faculty of Law, and past-President, Indigenous Bar Association of Canada
Juliette Nicolet, Policy Director, Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres Nicole Richmond then-Director of Justice, Chiefs of Ontario.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) also thanks our partners who provided financial or in-kind support, including:
