land acknowledgement

The Prairie Art Network began as a collaboration between faculty and research assistants situated across Indigenous lands including those of: the Blackfoot people, Treaty 7 Territory; Treaty 6 territory and the traditional lands of the Maskwacis Nêhiyawak, Niitsitapi, Nakoda, and Tsuut'ina Nations; Treaty 4 lands with a presence in Treaty 6 territory and the territories of the nêhiyawak (Cree), Anihšināpēk (Saulteaux), and Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the Métis.

We benefit from these lands, from the support of institutions based on these lands, and from the continued presence of the diverse Indigenous communities whose cultural practices influenced and enrich art and visual culture on the lands.
