Territorial acknowledgement

We recognize that URelles conducts the majority of its activities in Montréal (Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang), an indigenous territory that has never been ceded. We recognize the Kanien’kehá:ka (Gane-yung-ge-HA-ga) nation as the custodian of the lands and waters on which URelles operates. Tiohtiá:ke (Tjo-TJA-geh) is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations, and today a diverse indigenous population, as well as other peoples, reside here.

As a firm specializing in equity, diversity and inclusion, we play our role as allies in helping to raise awareness among Quebec organizations of the under-representation of Indigenous people and the challenges they face in the workplace. We are committed to helping companies integrate more Indigenous employees into their workplaces.

By writing content on indigenous issues, we also seek to raise their profile and contribute to lasting change.

At URelles, we continually educate ourselves about these issues internally, while being aware of our place and limitations. As our team is non-indigenous, we are keen to showcase indigenous organizations to meet your specific needs in this area:
