Land Acknowledgement
GRIM Studios respectfully acknowledges that we operate on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas peoples.
These lands are protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Anishinaabe to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
We recognize and honour the enduring presence, rights, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, past, present, and future.
At GRIM Studios, we commit ourselves not only to acknowledging this land but also to continuously learning about its history, respecting its stewards, and actively supporting Indigenous communities through advocacy, education, and meaningful collaboration.
We encourage all who visit our studio to reflect deeply on the history of the land we occupy, to seek understanding of Indigenous perspectives, and to commit to acts of reconciliation, equity, and respect. Together, we can build a community rooted in genuine respect, understanding, and care.
