et on the 6th
creative center
The ET on the 6th Creative Center is grounded in clear community needs. At present, more physical space has become essential for maximizing the momentum garnered over the past three years and to support growth as ET approaches stabilization. ET has expanded its program offerings and now seeks to serve a higher number of participants more frequently as the 6th continues its path towards completion. The impact of space at ET has proven itself over the past couple of years. Now the demand for ET’s services has made an appropriate end date to the 6th’s final form, essential.

land acknowledgment
Elevated Thought would like to recognize and honor the stolen ancestral land of the Pennacook peoples in which we live and work from. Like so many other Indigenous folks, the Pennacook people have been and continue to be displaced by American settlers. We recognize the violent systemic and cultural inequities that are a direct result of American colonialism and we commit ourselves to learning, respecting, and reconciling the histories, legacies, and ongoing experiences of Indigenous injustice.
why do we recognize the land?
Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol. (from http://www.lspirg.org/knowtheland)
