Land Acknowledgement

Huron Feathers acknowledges the traditional territory on which we are established.

For many thousands of years, the Chippewas of Nawash and Saugeen Ojibway Nations have sought to walk gently on this land. They offered assistance to the first European travellers to this territory and shared their knowledge for survival. Today we seek a new relationship with the original peoples of this land based on honour and respect.

The name Huron Feathers was given to conjure up the image of the lake ("Huron") and the heritage of the native people who had populated the area ("Feathers"). The building was designed to be a meeting house (the A-frame "teepee" shape), a place where people could come and experience the fellowship of Christian love.
