Land Acknowledgement
Artworks Gallery Guelph is located within the Between the Lakes Purchase (1784, confirmed 1792); the treaty and territory of Mississaugas of the Credit first Nation (part of the Anishinaabe First Nation). This land is also traditional hunting grounds of the Haudenosaunee and has also been the historic home to the Attawandaron Nations. It is is now home to many diverse first Nations including Inuit and Metis peoples.
Artworks Gallery Guelph recognizes the Dish with One Spoon treaty, an agreement made since at least 1142 CE between the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and allied Nations on the land that is now known as the great lakes region to share hunting territory, and live peacefully.
We recognize that many of the agreements made between the first Nations of this region and others on Turtle Island, have either not been in alignment with the Dish with One Spoon Treaty or have not been made in good faith or even upheld. As settlers, artists and community leaders we work to move beyond this, and consider and care for all of our relations (human an non-human) together.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share our work with you in this gallery space, and we are grateful to the land we are on and the original people of this land, for sharing it and caring for it since time immemorial.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about this land acknowledgment. It will help keep us growing.
