LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, COVID-19
We are grateful at the Roundhouse to live and work on the unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəjˀəm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil Waututh) Nations since time immemorial. The Roundhouse was built in 1887 on Indigenous territories. The waters and lands provided food and sustenance to the original peoples of the area. In 2017, the Roundhouse commissioned artwork to acknowledge the Indigenous history of the land on which the Roundhouse sits. Framing History was curated by Kamala Todd and featuring the work of artists Jordan Gallie, Debra Sparrow, and Xuuyaah (1951-2019). Read more about Framing History on page 7.
