MEET THE MOHICANS

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land. 

Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin, and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.  We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.

As part of WAM’s ongoing anti-racism and reparations work and using our art as our activism, we will be making a donation to the Mohican tribe. We encourage you to join us by donating to the Mohican Tribe’s Library and Museum HERE
