“Close-up on Canada” is recorded in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke, on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka, a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst many First Nations. We recognize and respect the Kanien’kehà:ka as the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which we work, study, and live.
