Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection ...across all barriers of heritage and difference. New Stage Performance Space stands on the unceded ancestral lands of the Munsee Lenape and Wappinger People. We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement where you live and work and join us in uncovering such truths. #honornativeland See more
