About
Health and Healing for the Planet
Green Feather Foundation is a multi-platform non-profit encompassing existing programs of IBEX Puppetry, Handmade Puppet Dreams, Puppet Slam Network, as well as the educational and philanthropic works of Heather Henson. Founded by Henson in 2020 -- umbrellaing work dating back to 2000 -- Green Feather’s mission is to promote health and healing of the planet through artistic spectacle, puppetry, and the reconnection of individuals with the land through immersive cultural, environmental and arts education.
Where we are
Green Feather's main offices are located on the island known as Mannahatta (now called Manhattan) in Lenapehoking, the homeland of the Lenape people. These lands are the intertribal trade lands, and are under the stewardship, of many more Nations. Among them are the Abenaki, Canarsee, Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Manhasset, Marsapeague, Matinecock, Merrick, Mohegan, Mohican, Montauks, Munsee, Nesaquake, Rockaway, Secatogue, Setalcott, Shinnecock, Unkechaug, and Wappinger. We acknowledge the systematic erasure of many nations and recognize those still among us.
New York City is home to over 115,000 inter-tribal Native American, First Nations, and Indigenous peoples - the largest out of any urban city across Turtle Island. We pay respect to all Native peoples, past, present, and future - their continuing presence in the homeland, throughout the Indigenous diaspora. We offer our care and gratitude to the Indigenous peoples of many Nations who continue to act as stewards of the land to this day and encourage you to learn more about these vibrant communities among us.
