Land Acknowledgment
As part of our ongoing efforts toward anti-racism and strengthening our relationships with our local community, Egg & Spoon Theatre Collective acknowledges that our office, rehearsal and production spaces sit on the unceded land of the Munsee Lenape. We extend our gratitude to the Lenape nations for their care, labor, and love of this land which was stolen from them with the use of violent colonization, isolation, devastating disease, and massacres.
This statement is only the beginning of our work toward centering Indigenous voices, as we rebuild an organization and nation founded on white supremacy along with the abuse of stolen resources that rightfully belong to others.
