Land Acknowledgment

  IATSE Local 357 acknowledges we are on land that has been inhabited by indigenous people from the beginning. As uninvited guests, we respect and recognize the Indigenous people of this land, be they acknowledged, unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded. We recognize the original stewards of these lands, the Anishinaabe, the Haudinosaunee, the Wendat, and the Attiwonderonk. We are committed to the challenge of change in our communities.
