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.
Join HNC staff Jen and Brittany for a winter walk through Sheelah Dunn Dooley Nature Sanctuary. They’ll explore the property in a new season and see what animals might be active right now. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. It will be approx. 2 km of walking on a gravel path with some uneven terrain and mild inclines. Please RSVP to Jen at land@hamiltonnature.org for directions and parking instructions, as well as a cancellation notice if the weather does not cooperate.
