Granting agencies that make our work possible
We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Grand River Artist Collective and its membership is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometers on each side of the Grand River. The land we occupy has a rich artistic history that we acknowledge to have existed for thousands of years among Indigenous communities before the arrival of colonizers and settlers. That artistic practice continues to be created, performed and evolved by Indigenous people in this territory which adds to our community’s understanding and appreciation for the land we are on, the people who are still here, and the environment around us. For that, we are thankful.
