We pay respect to their tribal leaders, and those who served and serve today, as stewards of these lands and waterways. We recognize the unique and enduring relationship that exists between the Indigenous people and their traditional territories. This acknowledgement is a reminder that we seek to recognize, honor, reconcile and partner with the people whose lands and waterways we benefit from today. blackstone Valley Tourism Council, inc
