Overview

Mission

The André Cailloux Center for Performing Arts & Cultural Justice holds land acknowledgments as an act of remembrance for the original land and water protectors of the region in which we make our work and craft community. It is a ritual that goes beyond acknowledgement to inspire action around the displacement of Indigenous/Native peoples caused by involuntary removal, forced assimilation, ethnic erasure, and cultural appropriation.

What it reported doing in 2024

The foundation uses the space to host events that uphold the legacy of the space, while cultivating community, culture and story-telling.
