Beginning in 2022, Fox Haven will pay $2 from every ticket sale to Through Piscataway Eyes as a LandBack tax for the land Fox Haven inhabits. Land taxes to indigenous nations function similarly to paying rent or a home mortgage. Payments such as a mortgage provide access to living space, whereas LandBack taxes recognize our access to stolen Indigenous land.
