Banner Artwork by Owisokon Lahache - Dancing Across Turtle Island
In our hearts we are from many distinct Nations that have lived, celebrated, respected, protected, honored and danced across Turtle Island since time immemorial. Salish, Nisga'a, Anishinaabee, M茅tis, Haudenosaunee, Mi隇宬maw, Innu are some of the first peoples of Turtle Island. Our beliefs and our traditions center on being thankful for the gifts Creation has loaned to our children. We dance to connect with each other and to defend the Earth, the waters and celebrate all that our future generations will need to continue to thrive. We have flourished by becoming life-long learners able to adapt to life with the settler Nations residing on our homelands. We continue to plan for Seven Generations into the future and continue to find ways to learn and adapt without losing our internal fire.
