Description
Venus Fest acknowledges that the land that we meet on is the
traditional territory of many Nations, including the Mississaugas of the
Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples,
and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis. We acknowledge
the federally signed Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, the
Williams Treaties, signed by 7 Chippewa and Mississauga Nations, and the
traditional Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Treaty signed between the Nations
to protect these lands and waters.
As an organization, we are working to learn more about the
land we are on, and to find ways of honouring Indigenous sovereignty in our
programming, in our operations, and in financial reparations wherever possible.
We also acknowledge that we have a lot more work to do as an organization, and
much more to learn. If you are a settler, we urge you to take some time with us
to reflect and learn about the history of the land on which you live, the
Indigenous communities who have cared for the land and water, and how you can
participate in genuine reconciliation.
Come be part of it all at our festival, mentorship, and
concert programming, at a unique range of Toronto spaces, where we celebrate
local and touring musicians and arts workers.
