Michigan Legacy Art Park and our partners at Crystal Mountain recognize and honor the Anishinaabe people whose ancestral lands this park resides, ceded in the Washington Treaty of 1836. The Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples’ histories and traditions must always be protected and celebrated. By taking a moment here in recognition of their traditional lands, we can all affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, and experiences — and express gratitude and appreciation to the Anishinaabe people for the gifts of their culture to the world.
