LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Omniverse productions are recorded and produced in Central Florida, Nashville, Tennessee, and Louisville, Kentucky on lands stolen from their Indigenous people:
The Timucua, Seminole, Yuchi, Chickasaw, Shawnee, Cherokee, Osage, Seneca-Iroquois, Miami, Hopewell, and Adena.
Acknowledgement of the first peoples of these lands and the lasting repercussions of colonization is just the beginning of restorative work towards Indigenous people.
Through awareness, we can prompt allyship, action, and ultimately: decolonization.
