Land Acknowledgement

 

GEOGRAPHICAL
The land on which The Anthropologists’ researches, devises, rehearses and performs our work primarily includes the unceded territories of the Lenape and Canarsie peoples. 

 

We name the original stewards of the land we are living and working on as a way to recognize the complete history of our nation, both the harm of colonization and the potential for repair. We also look to them for inspiration on how to live more peaceably and respectfully with the land.

 

DIGITAL

As we devise in an increasingly digital and geographically diverse landscape, additional places also include the unceded land of the Arapaho, the Cheyenne, the Lenni-Lenape, Munsee Lenape, Rockaway, and Ute peoples. We also acknowledge the inequities built into the digital landscape, which often exclude people in Indigenous territories and which have an outsize environmental impact.
