McMaster University recognizes that the University and surrounding Hamilton area, including their nature spaces, are situated on traditional territories shared between the Haudenosaunee confederacy and Anishnaabe nations. These lands are protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum belt. The wampum uses the symbolism of a dish to represent the territory, and one spoon to represent that the people are to share the resources of the land and only take what they need.
Celebrate Earth Day with an evening paddle through the beautiful Cootes Paradise! Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or brand new to the water, this adventure is designed for all experience levels. Staff from Nature at McMaster will share insights about the vibrant wildlife, birds, and native plants that call the marsh home. If postponed due to weather, the event will be moved to Saturday April 25.
