Aanii, Shé:kon, Wachay, Hello!
LodgePole Arts Alliance (LPAA) is a not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to build an Indigenous owned, operated, programmed, and animated land-based cultural creative center on the eastern edge of the Dish with One Spoon territories (Frontenac biosphere). This conceptual space will be inclusive, grounded in Eastern Woodland (Onkwe’honwe [Haudenosaunee] and Anishinaabe) cultural practices, knowledge and teachings, performances, exhibitions, and celebrations. This Indigenous-focused space will be the first of its kind in Canada on non-First Nation’s treaty/territory lands.
Our Vision
The vision for an Indigenous creative centre began in 2019 with a three-year research and feasibility investigation by two of the founding members of LodgePole Arts Alliance, JP Longboat, and Terri-Lynn Brennan, in partnership with ArtsBuild Ontario. The project investigated the feasibility of creating Indigenous creative spaces across Ontario. The conversations with the community made it clear that Indigenous Peoples are interested and eager to be part of a centre such as LodgePole Arts Alliance.
