LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the land we are working on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
这所博物馆是为和平而建，
但和平必须建基于历史真相。
这所博物馆是为争取一个沒有烽火的世界而建，
但假如我们对別人的痛苦无知回避，战争将永不止休。
这所博物馆是为我们的孩子得到一个更美的未來而建，
但假如我们不懂得宽恕，这未来将遥不可及。
这所博物馆的存在，是因为我们深信爱与公义恒久不息。
