True North Taekwondo acknowledges that we gather, train, and serve our community on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. We recognize the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Métis peoples whose relationships with these lands span generations.
For us, a land acknowledgement is more than a statement about where we train. It is a reminder of how we want to live and serve together. The tenets of Taekwondo—courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit—help guide that responsibility. Courtesy calls us to listen and treat others with respect. Integrity asks us to be honest about our shared history and accountable for our actions. Perseverance reminds us that reconciliation and relationship-building require ongoing effort. Self-control calls us to act thoughtfully and with humility. Indomitable spirit encourages us to stand against exclusion and work toward a community in which everyone has the opportunity to belong.
Guided by the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action 87–91 on Sport and Reconciliation, we are committed to listening, learning, building respectful relationships, reducing barriers to participation, and creating a Taekwondo community in which Indigenous participants and families are welcomed, respected, and able to participate fully.
