Coyote Watch Canada is headquartered in the traditional territory of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Mississaugas and Anishinaabe People. This territory is guided by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Together we strive to honour, respect, and protect the sacred lands, waters, wildlife, and natural resources in that the Dish may never be empty for the generations that follow. These lands are also home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit People many of whom continue to live and work here today.
