Land Acknowledgement
As you tour, we ask visitors to acknowledge that Milwaukee has long been known as a gathering place. The confluence of three rivers emptying into Lake Michigan are seen today as a benefit for residents to enjoy. But in reality, they have long nourished and been nourished by generation upon generation of Indigenous people.
