Land Acknowledgement
​
The Company Theatre performs within the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Onöndowa’ga:’, or “the people of the Great Hill,” known in English as the Seneca people. They are one of the six nations that make up the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
​
We recognize the unique relationship that the Indigenous stewards have with this land. That relationship is the core of their traditions, cultures, and histories. We recognize the history of genocide, colonization, and assimilation of Indigenous people that took place on this land. Mindful of these histories, we work towards understanding, acknowledging, and ultimately reconciliation.
​
We pledge to honor and better serve the Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. In offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, cultures, and experiences.
​
The Company Theatre intends to share and amplify Indigenous voices and works through our casting, hiring, and programming.
