Stolen; Occupied; Erased maps the scale of removal and erasure of the Tutelo and Monacan peoples since the first colonizers. The territories of Tutelo and Monacan peoples are shown on one end, while the middle branch shows the removal of these Indigenous peoples, until what is left of their ancestral homeland is reduced to a fraction of what is now called North Carolina.
