Ingenium shares this space with many communities—including other First Nations, the Métis Nation, and Inuit—residing across Turtle Island, thanks to the Anishinàbe Algonquin Nation who welcomed, and still welcome, people to their land.
Le Centre Ingenium et les trois musées d’Ingenium sont situés sur le territoire ancestral non cédé de la nation des Algonquins Anishinaabe. Ingenium partage ces espaces avec de nombreuses collectivités – des Premières Nations, des Métis et des Inuits – qui habitent sur l’île de la Tortue grâce à la nation algonquine Anishinaabe qui a accueilli et qui accueille encore les gens sur son territoire.
