Membership in the Nigerian Canadian Association, Hamilton and Environs is voluntary and is open to all peoples of Nigeria by birth, Naturalization, Marriage or Heritage. The Association is, however, open for membership to people from other regions and backgrounds who are committed to abiding by the principles and the established goals of the association. The primary geographic regions that are encompassed in the activities of the Association are the Hamilton-Wentworth region and the surroundings which include Burlington, Oakville, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Grimsby and St. Catherine.
The City of Hamilton is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, 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, the City of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.
I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful loyal and honest, to serve Nigeria with all my strength, to defend her unity, and uphold her honour and glory, so help me God.
