Land Acknowledgement

The Canadian Music Centre acknowledges that we are situated on sacred land where music has been created for many thousands of years.  The CMC central office is on the Treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit.  This meeting place of Tkaronto is now home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island.  We recognize the need for wise stewardship of the land surrounding the Great Lakes, the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, including the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potowatomi and the Haudenosaunee, including the Huron-Wendat, the Kanien’keha:ka, and the Seneca.

As a pan-Canadian organization, the CMC respects and affirms the inherent Treaty Rights of all Indigenous People across this land.  The CMC acknowledges the historical oppression of lands, cultures, and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes Music can contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
