Land acknowledgement
“In gratitude and respect Tarragon Theatre would like to acknowledge this sacred land on which we gather and operate is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Tarragon Theatre and the city of Toronto are covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Tarragon would also like to suggest taking some time with the NCTR – National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation; A government site working to incorporate Indigenous perspectives, values, laws and protocols, creating something new and striving to decolonize and build on principles of respect, honesty, wisdom, courage, humility, love and truth.“
