The land upon which LAT is located is part of the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Toronto is covered by Treaty 13. LAT acknowledges that Toronto has historically been a gathering place for many Indigenous people including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples today.

LAT also respects the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples as set out in the United Nations Declaration of the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Furthermore, LAT acknowledges the desire and rights of Indigenous peoples to own heritage and artistic products and resist misappropriation.

LAT is committed to strengthening formal and informal connections with Indigenous communities through public art. We will listen to and work closely with Indigenous artists to honour their stories.
