404 — WaterMarks MKE

WaterMarks takes place on the homeland of the Menominee, Potawatomi, and Ho-Chunk nations. We honor with gratitude the sovereign Menominee, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk nations, Anishinaabe, Oneida, and Mohican nations who remain present.

At CALL, one of the main things we aspire to do is reveal the layers that have gone into making places what they are today. Who has lived here, what was their relationship to the land, what are the natural systems that continue to shape the land, and what impacts have settlement and colonization had on the land.

Recognition of Indigenous rights and sovereignty must move past mere acknowledgement - we cannot forget that Indigenous-led groups are leaders in the present efforts to protect our resources and lead the struggle for environmental justice. We encourage you to take the time to research and support Indigenous-led organizations in your area.

WaterMarks is a City as Living Laboratory Project.
