The Manahoac
Our headquarters in Herndon VA are on the traditional and unceded indigenous lands of the Whonkentia Manahoac people and the Six Nations. Through the beginnings of the 18th Century, the Manahoac represented a large group of cultures and subsets from the Rappahannock River to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Historically Excluded
Many groups have been excluded or marginalized through the arts, systemic racism, exploitation, gender pay gaps and more. We, the Noble Blades, strongly feel we have a responsibility to work toward increasing the diversity, inclusion and brave spaces in not only our organization, but in the artistic community as a whole.
