Land Acknowledgement
We are on land that was stolen from those indigenous to Mishigami (great water) ; originally home to people of the Three Fires - the Odawa, Ojibwa, and Potawatomi. I would like to pay respects to the nineteen Odawa chiefs who once governed the lands along the Grand River, in and around what is now the city of Grand Rapids.
