LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

As an organization, CAPRAC acknowledges our privilege to live, work and create on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the following five Nations:

Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin)
 Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk)
 Anishinabewaki
 Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee)
Wendake-Nionwentsio

The presence of these First Nations reaches back to a time before the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, and who continue to live here.  We recognize these Nations as the customary keepers and cultivators of this land, and so, honor their long history of welcoming many nations onto their beautiful territory.  

We recognize the historical oppression of the original Peoples, and the inexcusable efforts which were made to extinguish their arts, their culture and their heritage.  

As individuals, we will strive to become good neighbors by fostering respectful ways of occupying this place together, and to uplift the values and voices of our host Nations, by peacefully allowing space for them to tell their stories, on their terms.  We believe the arts are a great tool in the process of reconciliation, which each of us should consider and acknowledge, through our creative process, as well as in our daily lives.
