These waterways were very important to the movement of animals, and Indigenous Peoples who have inhabited thisarea for over 10,000 years. Understanding the connection with the water and land is an integral part ofunderstanding the themes that are to be expressed in this work.

Indigenous People have been living on and responsible stewards of the territory of what is now known asToronto for thousands of years. Today, Toronto has one of the largest and long-standing urban Indigenouspopulations in Canada - by some estimates there are between 70,000 and 100,000 First Nations, Métis peopleand Inuit. The Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, the Chippewa, and the Seneca Peoples represent some of theIndigenous Peoples who have thrived here long before Europeans arrived, settled, and colonized these lands.
