At Playmakers, we understand that the land on which we run, walk, and live is the ancestral and traditional lands of the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi people. We acknowledge the significance of this land and pledge to uphold, respect, and honor indigenous communities, while also acknowledging the intricate and painful history they have endured.
