Land Acknowledgement
ArtsConnection and Culture Connected acknowledge that we, and our cultural partners across NYC’s 5 boroughs, exist and operate on the unceded land of the Munsee Lenape, Wappinger, and Canarsie peoples. We acknowledge the exclusions and erasures of the many Indigenous peoples on whose lands our operations were founded upon. We additionally acknowledge the enslaved Africans whose labor built New York City during the colonial era and beyond.
Furthermore, we recognize the systemic forms of oppression implemented across the United States, and specifically New York City, that have harmed Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism.
