The International Festival of Flutes: People | Place | Culture, hosted by West Virginia University, takes place on lands that include the ancestral territories of the Shawnee, Lenape (Delaware), Haudenosaunee (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, Tuscarora), Cherokee, and many other Indigenous peoples.

We honor and recognize the Indigenous Nations and communities who have stewarded this region since time immemorial, and on whose ancestral lands we gather today to celebrate diverse musical traditions and cultural expressions from around the world.

We gratefully acknowledge our sponsors, whose generous support makes both this event and our scholarship opportunities possible: American Forest National Heritage Area, Szilagyi Family Foundation Inc, Jupiter, Altus, Azumi Flutes, Wm.
