We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the traditional, ancestral lands of the Council of Three Fires — Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi — and many other Indigenous nations, including the Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Miami, and Illinois. The process of knowing and acknowledging the land we stand on is a way of honoring and expressing gratitude for the ancestral people who were on this land before us.
NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
