LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT | Ottawa StoryTellers’ events and performances take place on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg. We respectfully acknowledge that they are the original caretakers of this land. At Ottawa StoryTellers, we're not just acknowledging land, we’re acknowledging a culture, a culture of storytellers that have been telling stories since time immemorial. We are dedicated to working with our indigenous partners to honour these traditions, now and for always.
