Related to our mission of enriching lives and building a vibrant, inclusive community through the arts we would like to acknowledge that the land we use for classes and events and the land on which The Umbrella is built on the Musketaquid area, original homelands of the Nipmuc and Massachusett peoples. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather.
