From idea
to impact

The Maison de l’innovation sociale’s place of work is in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal), an unceded traditional Indigenous territory. Many Indigenous peoples converged here long before the arrival of European settlers, and still do today. This includes the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation, a member of the Haudenosauni Confederacy and the custodian of the water and lands of Tiohtiá:ke. This is a gesture of solidarity with Indigenous Peoples.

And you, on whose land do you live or work on?
