LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Cara Mía Theatre recognizes the Native people whose ancestral lands are where Cara Mía produces theatre. We wish to acknowledge the land of the Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Tawákoni, Wichita and Caddo people which is now called Dallas. Commanches and Kiowa (Ky Oh Wuh) have also lived in this region although it is not often recognized as their homeland. We acknowledge that Dallas is stolen land and that this city was built with stolen labor. We call for the unity and solidarity of all of our peoples in making a better world.
