Six Nations leaders say Robbie Robertson gave cultural centre invaluable support
A gesture by late musician Robbie Robertson has drawn attention to a Six Nations community’s cultural restoration project and local leaders anticipate it will have a lasting positive impact.
The cultural centre provides resources to promote Indigenous language and history with the goal of sharing the story of the Haudenosaunee people through exhibits and performances. Those experiences framed Robertson’s own convictions to dedicate some of his life to drawing attention to Indigenous music and art, particularly from young creators.
“We have these huge conversations going on right now around repatriation and Indigenous rights. And I think sometimes, culture and heritage aren’t always given much visibility in terms of thinking about healing or community wellness.”
