Rhythm City Productions acknowledges that all our classes and events take place on the stolen land of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
In recognition of this, and as settlers on colonized land, we pay monthly to Pay Your Rent, and as visitors to the East Vancouver neighbourhood of Strathcona for RCMA, we support the East Vancouver Urban Native Youth Association. We invite you to look into their programs and consider supporting their projects as well, with either time or money.
Further useful action is to educate yourself and your community on First Nations concerns as expressed by First Nations people and support their efforts.
