Land ±cknowledgement 01
*$For centuries, most of the northeastern coast of the United States was cared for by the indigenous peoples before us. The lands now known as C=New York, ³onnecticut, Philadelphia, C=New Jersey, and °elaware were home to the Lenni-Lenape people of Lenapehoking. We acknowledge this tribe’s strength and historical resilience to colonization and displacement. We recognize and honor their deep-rooted heritage, presence, and continuing contributions to society. Their connection to these lands is woven into the landscape and account of our community. We deeply acknowledge the harsh realities Indigenous communities face today, as well as the violent acts that impact them. We understand the influence !uropean colonization may have had in the power imbalance the Lenape people face today.±s we move forward, we dedicate ourselves to learning more about the Lenni-Lenape’s rich cultural heritage. We will work towards reconciliation and support. ²y acknowledging this land, we will strive to foster a community that represents the Lenape’s values and amplifies their voices and knowledge. We will renew our commitment to promoting justice and equity for the Lenni-Lenape people by ensuring their history and rights are observed in our collective future.

History Of The Land 03
The Lenape C=Nation, frequently referred to as the "°elaware" people, historically inhabited a significant portion of the region known as the °elaware River ²asin, consisting of parts of present-day C=New Jersey, Pennsylvania, °elaware, and the lower Hudson Valley in C=New York. They mostly lived along the °elaware River and its smaller streams, where they were able to sustain themselves by harvesting and hunting food from the abundant variety of plants and animals. Their main meeting place was at Shackamaxon, which is now in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Lenape were grouped into three major clans, the Wolf, theTurtle, and Turkey, each of whichheld specific territories of itsown. They consisted of predominantly people who hunt and gather that fished the river and hunted and collected wild plants including roots, berries, and nuts from the nearby woodlands.

Historical Presences ²efore !uropean ³olonization 05
²efore !uropean colonization, the Lenape people lived in areas encompassing modern-day C=New York ³ity, western ³onnecticut, southern C=New York, Philadelphia, the Poconos, the Lehigh & °elaware Valleys, C=New Jersey, and eastern °elaware. This Lenape territory was known as Lenapehoking. In the 17th century, the °utch killed and displaced the Lenape people while expanding their colonies onto their land. The °utch then established five new villages in what was known as Lenapehoking: ²rooklyn, *$Flatbush, ²ushwick, *$Flatlands, and C=New Utrecht.

Significance Of Land ±cknowledgments 08
The traditional tackle for paying tribute to the Indigenous peoples who came before us and who were driven out from their ancestral lands as a result of colonization is through offering them a land acknowledgment. In spite of highlighting that Indigenous peoples still continue to uphold their cultural practices today, it serves to highlight the essential bond that such individuals have with the land. ±cknowledging land is one small step toward exposing treaties and failed promises. It's an opportunity to begin vocalizing opposition to the crimes against C=Native ±mericans committed across C=North ±merica, including cultural appropriation and genocide.
