The Land on Which We Dance | August 7-11

Jacob’s Pillow has engaged with Indigenous peoples and culture since its founding in 1933 and is excited to revitalize its commitment this year. Jacob’s Pillow hosted a week-long landmark celebration where the campus was illuminated with an exchange of song, dance, and storytelling—bringing together local Indigenous peoples with contemporary artists based in the U.S. and Canada.

Morgan and with support from Larry Spotted Crow Mann. Read about the history of Native American connections at Jacob’s Pillow here.
