Playhouse's Land Acknowledgement Recognizes That Cincinnati Was Built on Shawnee and Myaamia Lands

www.citybeat.com: If you've been to a recent show at the Playhouse in the Park, you may have noticed a new addition in their programs: a "Land Acknowledgment."

"As a step toward honoring the truth and achieving healing and reconciliation with those Indigenous Peoples who were affected most by the Doctrine of Discovery* and broken treaties, we acknowledge the traditional Shawnee and Myaamia (Miami) lands on which we now stand, and on which the City of Cincinnati was built," the notice reads.
