Pay Reparations

The Manna-hatta Fund is an invitation to all settlers and non-Native people who wish to acknowledge the legacy of theft and genocide that comprise the history of New York City and the United States.
The people who inhabited this land at the time of European arrival, including the Munsee Lenape, Canarsee, Rockaway, Wappinger, Manahatin, Reckgawanc, Unkechaug, Matinecock, Haudenosaunee, and more, were brutally annihilated, assimilated, or displaced altogether to create European-led settlements and government. The violence of colonization is ongoing even while millions of Native people follow in the footsteps of their ancestors to repair and restore their communities.
Native survival in the face of such violence and loss requires community, and for 52 years the American Indian Community House has been a lifeline for the estimated 111,000 Native people living in New York City. Acting as an intertribal hub for our metropolitan region, AICH provides health and wellness services, cultural events, community, and a voice for Indigenous Peoples. 100% of all Manna-hatta Fund donations go directly to American Indian Community House. — Manna-hatta Fund
