Land Acknowledgement

MONAH resides on land connected to centuries of Indigenous caretakers. We acknowledge that the boundaries of the land that is now called Arkansas were once home to Kadohadacho (Caddo), Wahzhazhe (Osage), Okáxpa (Quapaw), and countless other native groups. We recognize and show respect to the contemporary and vibrant cultures of the First Nations of all the Americas. As a cultural institution, we take our responsibility as educative storytellers of Native American history seriously through our exhibits, programming, publications, and community service. MONAH will always serve as a celebratory space for our First Nations' diversity in their culture, history, and rich craftsmanship. We encourage our visitors to aid Indigenous peoples by protecting their sacred lands and resources through the acknowledgment that our states, cities, neighborhoods, and communities reside on Native American ancestral grounds.
