Common Boots Theatre operates primarily in the city of Toronto and acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. This territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Anishinabeg and Haudenosaunee allied nations to peaceably share and care for the lands around the Great Lakes. We are grateful for the privilege to live and work on this land, and it is in the spirit of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant that we continue to strive to equitably create and share what we have with our artists and audiences.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Indigenous peoples in the Toronto area, the various agreements and treaties upon which the city was founded, and the rich layers of meaning that cover and continue to shape this area, we cannot recommend more A Treaty Guide for Torontonians, by Talking Treaties Collective, part of Jumblies Theatre. This beautifully written and illustrated book delves into the history of treaties that shape Toronto and to which we are all beholden as treaty people.
