LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge and recognize all of the living beings that we share this home with. Human, animal, insect and plant; yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
We acknowledge the Lenape communities that have lived here for thousands of years.
We recognize that they continue to live here and that their homes are still here.
We acknowledge there are many different Lenape communities. Those who were forced to assimilate, those who have been displaced and those who have been erased. Those who are recognized and those who are not.
We extend ourselves with respect and friendship.
We acknowledge that as many of our Lenape neighbors work to preserve their language and culture, we can support them by listening.
