Land Acknowledgment
Mohawk College derives its name from the Mohawk Nation, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee
Confederacy. The Confederacy marks a union of peace and friendship, and Mohawk College honours that
union by recognizing the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
We acknowledge that the territories on which Mohawk College and its campuses are situated are governed
by the Between the Lakes Treaty, the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement, and the Upper Canada
Treaty Agreement. These agreements are binding to this day and represent our mutual commitment to
maintain healthy, reciprocal and respectful relationships with the many Indigenous nations and peoples of this
area. We acknowledge this and iterate our dedication to inclusivity, to friendship and to valuing the ongoing
contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.

PHOTO ABOVE: Building and Construction Sciences students and faculty work with industry partners to use drones to monitor the
progress of buildings under construction. The traditional way to inspect the ‘structural envelope’ of a building involves dropping
inspectors over the sides to take samples and photos. It can take a day to cover just 10-15% of the building at a cost of several
thousand dollars. Drones can cover the same building in an hour, at a significantly lower cost, and importantly, minimize risk to
employee safety. Building and Construction Sciences students featured above (left to right): Tyler Sowden, Quincey Bailey, Kevin
