The Danbury Museum campus is located on the unceded land that was stewarded for generations, since the last ice age, by many Indigenous Peoples including the Schagticoke, Paugussett, Pootatuck, Weantinock, Wiechquaesgeck, Mohican, and Pequannock. Present day western Connecticut and the Housatonic Valley have been the site of travel, gatherings, and trade for numerous tribal peoples. This acknowledgement is an effort to honor and respect the relationship that exists between Native Peoples and their sacred lands; a relationship that should be honored and fostered by generations of people, from around the world, who have, built community and stewarded the land we now know as Danbury.
