At the turn of the 19th century, Donald ‘Og’ MacNeil and three other family members left their homes on the Isle of Barra and crossed the ocean on a voyage of discovery. Settling in Cape Breton, they were drawn by the promise of “fuel in the forests, water in the ground, and fish in the sea” to a place Donald had first seen while serving in the British Army.
In the city of Hamilton, ArcelorMittal Dofasco lands are situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, HuronWendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, this area is still the home to many Indigenous people and we are grateful to work and live on this land.
