Land Acknowledgement

The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) is situated on what was a gathering place for more than 40 Indigenous Nations and Tribes. As a fine art museum built on sacred land, it is our responsibility to share what we know and to continue to learn about the people who lived on this land. Please read our public statement that acknowledges that land was inhabited by Indigenous Peoples who were forcibly removed so colonists could own and occupy the land.
