LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

 

Our theatre lives on the island of Manhattan.

 

Manhattan has always been a gathering and trading place for many Indigenous peoples, where Nations intersected from all four directions since time immemorial. It was a place to gather and sometimes to seek refuge during times of conflict and struggle. The staff and trustees of New York Theatre Workshop, Lucille Lortel Theatre, Sinking Ship, and Theater in Quarantine pay respect to all of their ancestors past, present, to their future generations.

 

We acknowledge that our theatre, and our work, is situated on the island of Manhattan (Menohhannet—­ On the Island), traditional lands of the Munsee Lenape, the Canarsie, Unkechaug, Matinecock, Shinnecock, Reckgawanc and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

 

We respect that many Indigenous people continue to live and work on this island and acknowledge their ongoing contributions to this area.

 

We encourage each of you to honor the Indigenous communities that first inhabited the land on which you’re now standing.

 

We would like to thank Safe Harbors NYC for contributing to this statement.
