We give some backstory to Emma's childhood in Europe (Tsarist Russia-occupied Lithuania, Popelan, St. Petersburg, Königsberg) and her later experience as an immigrant in the “United States” ("Rochester" (Seneca land) and "New Haven" (Quinnipiac land) before her "spiritual birth" leading her into "New York City" (Lenapehoking).)
