Raue Center gratefully acknowledges that its theater sits on land stewarded and cared for by a confederation of small Algonquian-speaking North American Indian tribes who originally spread over what is now southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and parts of Missouri and Iowa. The best-known of the Illinois tribes were the Cahokia, Kaskaskia, Michigamea, Peoria, and Tamaroa. We honor and respect these nations, peoples, and their enduring relationship to this land.
