Land Acknowledgement
The Wright Place and the Wright Family Performance Arts & Entertainment Center Foundation operates on Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Attiwonderonk (Neutral), and Mississauga land. This land was part of the Longwoods Purchase, under Treaty #21. It was signed on March 9, 1819 by representatives of the Crown and certain Anishinaabe peoples.
The territory described in the written treaty covers approximately 220,000 hectares. The River Thames, which was called Askanessippi in Anishinaabemowin, meaning the “antlered river,” runs through this area. We wish to express gratitude to the generations of Indigenous People across Turtle Island for the care and protection of the land we live and work on today. We recognize we are on the traditional territory of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, the Munsee-Delaware First Nation, and the Oneida Nation of the Thames, all within the boundaries of Treaty #21.
