Land Acknowledgement

The KW Kiwanis Music Festival would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton People. We also acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today. We are all treaty people and we recognize our responsibility to serve as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-rooted traditions of Indigenous Peoples of the Waterloo Region and Canada.
