Art Windsor-Essex respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Anishinaabe Territory – the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

FAQs:
- Do I need an invitation to join in? You don’t need a special invitation to join in, you can come and go when you want!
- What should I wear? While there are no strict dress codes, it is advisable to dress respectfully and comfortably.
- I’ve never joined a round dance before. What do I need to know? For dancing, gather in a circle. Hold hands with the people on either side of you, with your left hand facing up and your right hand facing down. You can jump in anywhere in the circle and at any time during a dance. Step left with your left foot and then side your right foot next to it.
