These Land Acknowledgement Shoes are made using materials scavenged from the land in Charlottenburg, Ontario where Robert Colquhoun first set foot when he arrived in Canada.  When Robert died in 1828 he left Lots 11, 12, 14, 15, & 16 along the water’s edge of the Nutfield Tract to his heirs and assigns. He “gave, devised and bequeathed this land forever to have and to hold” despite leasing these lots from the Akwesasne like all the other settlers on the Nutfield Tract.
