Grand River Voices acknowledges that we gather on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Chonnonton peoples. 

This land is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to the Six Nations, which includes 6 miles on either side of the Grand River, from its source to where it empties into Lake Erie. Originally 950,000 acres, the Six Nations Reserve is less than 5% of that land. 

We are mindful of Indigenous peoples’ enduring connection and presence on this land, and that they have gathered here, in community and song, since time immemorial.
