We, the members of Tut’Zanni Theatre Company, want to acknowledge that we are each privileged to live on, and to collectively gather on the traditional homeland to various groups of Indigenous people.

ALi lives on the traditional land of the Goshute people
Dory resides on the lands of the Osage, Quapaw and Caddo people
Patrick lives on the lands of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people
Molly lives on the traditional lands of the Chinook, Willapa , Coast Salish, Chehalis, Stillaguamish, Duwamish, Muckleshoot, and Suquamish people
Allegra resides on the lands of the Mojave, Southern Paiute, and Chemehuevi people
Liam lives on the traditional land of the Lenni Lenape peoples past and present, called Lenapehoking.

It is clear that we have much to learn about the history of these many groups and tribal nations on whose land we live. Amongst the rich diversity of histories, languages, and cultures, many of these groups share experiences of stolen land, forced removal, discrimination, and genocide at the hand of colonizers.

We honor with gratitude the land we live on and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. We commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land, and to recognizing and honoring the Indigenous People who lived here before us.

We encourage you to identify the Indigenous people who have stewarded the land on which you reside (we found Native-Land.ca to be an extremely helpful tool), to spend some time learning about their history and culture, and to make a donation in support of Indigenous people. We have made donations to the American Indian College Fund.
