MISSION
The Saskatchewan Craft Council (SCC) invites and connects the world to experience excellence in Saskatchewan craft.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Saskatchewan Craft Council acknowledges that the land on which we gather is Treaty 6 territory, the traditional territory of numerous First Nations, including Plains and Woods Cree, Dene, Nakota, Saulteaux, and Anishinaabe, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. As we are all Treaty people, acknowledging traditional territory and this relationship is one of many steps we can take to recognize the land’s history, to pay respects to the Indigenous peoples whose practices and spiritualties continue to develop, grow, and contribute to this land.
