We recognize First Nations peoples as rightful traditional stewards of this land and we respect the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories. We honor the following tribes as the original caretakers of the land upon which we gather:
As descendants of colonists and current settlers of these lands, we (the production team) acknowledge the sordid history of this beloved place we call home.
We understand that since time immemorial, First Nations peoples across Turtle Island (now known as North America) carefully and skillfully tended the land to promote a thriving and abundant home for all life. These lands were forcibly and violently stolen from Indigenous peoples, who have suffered immense loss & trauma at the hands of European colonial settlers who forcibly removed them from their sacred ancestral homelands and strategically attempted to eradicate their diverse cultures.
We recognize that injustices against Indigenous peoples persist today, and that settler colonialism is not a remnant of the past, but an ongoing process that is reflected in the environmental crisis we are now facing.
With Big Hearts full of care and gratitude for the descendants of the original peoples of this special place, we hope to build bridges of connection & opportunities for healing our kinship & connection with one another and the sacred land.
To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long standing history that has brought you to reside on the land, and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context as colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.
