Land Acknowledgement

The Toronto Dance Community Love-In is thankful to gather on the traditional Indigenous territory of Tkaronto. This is the ancestral and unceded land of the Wyandot people, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg and Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize them and any other Nations (acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded) as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. We are grateful to the Elders and story-keepers who have been telling the story of this land for generations. We are learning how to honour and upkeep the protocols of this territory and are gaining knowledge on how to live in alignment with the treaties of this region. With these words we honour the land and its caretakers. We commit to challenging the ongoing injustices and the impact of colonialism by providing spaces for generosity, respect and love.
