Momentum IT Group recognizes that our offices are located in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, first signed in the 1700s between the Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) Peoples and the British Crown. These treaties did not surrender land but instead established ongoing relationships of peace, respect, and mutual support.
We express our deep gratitude to the Mi'kmaq Nation, the original and continuing caretakers of the lands and waters where we live and work, and we acknowledge the enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island. We also recognize the history of displacement and colonial violence that continues to shape our society, and we commit ourselves to learning from and supporting Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination.
For Momentum IT Group, recognizing the land on which we operate is a step toward raising awareness of Indigenous presence, land rights, and human rights in our daily work. It is also a way to recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and to reflect on how our organization participates in, and can help transform, these systems.
We understand that land acknowledgements can easily become symbolic gestures. For that reason, we strive to ensure that our acknowledgement is rooted in accountability and ongoing action. We reflect on how our decisions—as individuals and as an organization—can either uphold or challenge colonial structures, and we are committed to integrating decolonial and equity-focused practices into our workplace, partnerships, and community engagement.
This territorial acknowledgement represents a living process for Momentum IT Group—one that involves continuous learning, unlearning, and listening. We recognize that decolonization requires more than words: it calls for changes in behaviour, relationships, and structures.
As we grow as an organization, we are committed to:
We welcome dialogue and feedback, especially from Mi'kmaq and other Indigenous Peoples, on how we can strengthen this acknowledgement and our broader commitments to reconciliation.
