Righting Wrongs: Learning and Relationship Building with the New Credit First Nation
of Mississauga
The Canadian Muslim community, to remain faithful to the divine injunction of enjoining justice
('adl), cannot ignore the historical and current injustices brought to the Indigenous peoples by
colonization and centuries of successive immigration, as well as their fundamental contributions
to the essential character of this country. The ISNA Canada headquarters is located on
the historic and traditional land of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation which is part
of the larger Anishinabe group of First Nations. This session will provide an opportunity to learn
about the history and truth of this land directly from their Chief - R. Stacey LaForme. Elder Cat
Criger, Chaplain at the University of Toronto - Mississauga, from the Cayuga, Turtle Clan of the
Six Nations Haudenosaunee or People of the Longhouse, will provide a traditional opening for
the session.
