The Merrickville Arts Guild would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee ( Iroquois), Oneida and Haudenosaunee (St Lawrence Iroquois) peoples who have lived on and cared for this land since time immemorial. We honour their history, culture, and sovereignty, and recognize their continuing connection to the land, water, and air of this region. We are grateful for their hospitality and stewardship of this land. We commit to taking action towards reconciliation, justice, and healing for all peoples who share this land.
