WINGSForum 2026 will take place in Montréal, also known as Tiohtià:ke in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk), a place that has long served as a site of meeting and exchange among many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee, Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinabeg.

Montréal is located on the unceded and unsurrendered traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation, custodians and caretakers of these lands and waters. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose presence continues to shape this place where people from around the world now gather.
