—Land Acknowledgement:

THE SUN IS SLEEPING was created on ancestral and unceeded lands, across this country, of the Canarsie, Croatan, Chumash, Hopewell, Kizh, Massachusett, Munsee Lenape, Myaamia, Tonga, Pawtucket, Roanoke, and Wappinger peoples. We pay respect to these Indigenous elders past, present, and emerging.

We also acknowledge the Indigenous custodians of the various lands on which our audience screens THE SUN IS SLEEPING.

We acknowledge the truth of violence perpetrated in the name of this country and make a commitment to uncovering that truth. We recognize that Land Acknowledgements are a small but important step towards building cultures of respect, truth, and accountability in our communities and that work is deep and nuanced. We hope to inspire further research and conversation towards change; to find territory information for your area, visit native-land.ca.
