We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, which includes the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomie.  The City of Windsor honours all First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this land.
Windsor’s riverfront has played a critical role in the socio-economic evolution of the communities which have inhabited the region throughout history including Indigenous peoples, French and English colonists, traders, industrialists, and mariners. Now the Central Riverfront has been reclaimed as a key resource in the urban revitalization of the City

The Windsor Riverfront Festival Plaza sits on Anishinabe Territory.  The Anishinabe in the Windsor area are known as the Ojibwa, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations, or the Three Fires Confederacy.  Today the Anishinabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Walpole Island First Nation.  The City of Windsor respects the historical and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory
