New Voices New Rooms has published a land acknowledgement in advance of its 2026 conference in Baltimore next month, recognizing the event will be held on the traditional home of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples, and pointing attendees to resources to find out more about Indigenous life in the area. The organization is making a donation to The Baltimore American Indian Center, and encourages attendees to do likewise:
"To simply acknowledge the history of settlement and displacement is not enough, for even as Indigenous communities have survived, protecting their languages, cultures, and traditions, they still face the continuing legacy of colonization. With this in mind, NVNR is making a donation to The Baltimore American Indian Center and we encourage all of you to also make an individual donation there, and to Indigenous communities in your own cities, especially literacy projects, as we are booksellers."
