The only market of its kind in Eastern Ontario

Kingston, Ontario – (June 6, 2022) – After great success last fall, the Katarowki Market is reopening for the 2022 season, coinciding with Indigenous History month; a time to highlight the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of Indigenous People in our community.

Kingston/Katarokwi is located on the traditional lands of the Huron-Wendat and the Mississauga of the Ojibways. To the local Indigenous Peoples, this city has long been known as Katarokwi, meaning “a place where there is clay.” In Anishinaabemowin, it is “Gaadanokwii.” In Mohawk, it is “Ken’tarókwen.”

Kingston continues to have a strong Indigenous presence and voice as caretakers of the land and water. Kingston/Katarokwi acknowledges the everlasting presence of Indigenous nations, the Métis, Inuit and other First Nations, and is grateful to reside in and visit this territory.
