Hinode Taiko gratefully acknowledges funding awarded in the past five years from the following:
Established in 1947, the NAJC (National Association of Japanese Canadians) is the only national organization in Canada that represents the Japanese Canadian community. The NAJC negotiated the historic Redress Settlement on behalf of all Japanese Canadians who suffered injustices and acts of discrimination during World War II.
The Redress Agreement acknowledged the unjust actions of the Canadian government and provided a symbolic redress for those actions. $12 million was provided to the Japanese Canadian community through the NAJC to undertake educational, social and cultural activities and programs that contribute to the well being of the community or promote human rights. The Japanese Canadian Redress Foundation (JCRF) was established by the NAJC for the purpose of allocating the $12 million community redress payment on behalf of the Japanese Canadian community.
The TCA is a cultural arts nonprofit launched in 2013 with a specific mandate from the taiko community to ensure that the North American Taiko Conference (NATC) would continue. In 1997, the first NATC was supported by the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center (JACCC) of Los Angeles, and after a number of occurrences there, other communities stepped up to host the growing conference. Today, the TCA continues to produce NATC as well as regionally-focused NATC-R events.
With a mission to empower the people and advance the art of taiko, TCA’s broader programming includes grants, educational resources, virtual gatherings, performances, and fiscal sponsorship. TCA primarily services taiko communities in North America, but it is also in conversation and impactful within the global taiko community.
