Land Acknowledgement

The Power of Natyam Dance Company is committed to learning and respecting the history and culture of the Indigenous People in  Canada. Rhythms of the Heart is reflection of that.

Oviya Shakthi will be performed on land situated within the traditional unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) peoples, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. There is also a strong historic presence of Anishinaabe peoples in what is now known as the Greater Montreal area. Tio’tia:ke, or Montreal, has also long been, and continues to be, a gathering place for many First Peoples from all directions. We honour and thank the traditional custodians of this land and strive to work for the success of future generations.
