On TAP: A Theatre & Performance Studies Podcast is produced mainly in one location and with the resources of one institution, Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
Tufts University on colonized Wampanoag and Massachusett Tribe traditional territory. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, known as the People of the First Light, have lived in present-day Massachusetts for thousands of years. In 2007, they were re-acknowledged as a federally recognized tribe, and in 2015 the federal government declared land in Mashpee, and Taunton Massachusetts as the Tribe’s initial reservation, on which the Tribe can exercise full tribal sovereignty rights.
Our podcast also involves contributions of many collaborators in different parts of North America and beyond, and utilizes software and data storage supported by physical resources in a variety of sites. In many cases, the sites of the infrastructure that supports this project are on land that was unjustly taken. We encourage our listeners to learn more about the history of the land where they are. Furthermore, On TAP is committed to engagement with indigenous scholars and artists.
