Indigenous Community Engagement 

 

While the work and governance to reclaim the Falls is being informed by Indigenous leadership at every critical moment in this public access project, holistic Indigenous community engagement is another important part of ensuring its design and programming serve community needs and priorities.

We’ve had a unique partnership with MASS Design Group —an award-winning nonprofit design firm practicing architecture that centers justice and beauty as fundamental human rights. Through this partnership, we have centered Indigenous community voices and worked to ensure that Indigenous stories, histories, and current needs inform design, interpretation, and programming. Through this co-creation, we envision a place where these relationships flourish and where new ones are made for generations to come.
