LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to take the time to acknowledge that, wherever we are Iocated on Turtle Island, otherwise known
as North America, we are on occupied territory, and here in this region of NY speci昀椀cally the unceded ancestral
land of the Lenape, Wappinger, Canarsie, Rockaway, Matinecock, and Ramapo people.
We also want to acknowledge that, after there was stolen land, there was stolen people. We want to honor the
generation of displaced and enslaved people that built , and continue to build this country today.
This land acknowledgement invites you to consciously and constantly subconsciously re昀氀ect upon the story of
the literal and metaphorical soil that holds your home, spirit and cradle. This land acknowledgement invites you
to conscionably 昀椀nd ways to treasure one another, to weave lives together, to be an ambassador for uniting the
world and not just your neighborhood. We welcome you to start this journey with us to and keep sharing it.
Whilst the New York City Commission on Human Rights acknowledges the land politically designated as New
York City to be the homeland of the Lenape (Lenapehoking) who were violently displaced as a result of European settler colonialism over the course of 400 years, the original custodians of these same lands continue to
bless the soil past, present and future, and are with us in this very moment.
You might re昀氀ect upon the impact of innocently insisting an Original Custodian be marked with a stamp upon
entering a bar for a social event to ensure venue re-entry, and why they might refuse given generations of
“white” person abuse to their people dehumanizing them by branding them as property. You might re昀氀ect
upon the brilliance of the Original Custodians living in synergy with nature minimizing environmental stressors,
and how this wisdom is being borrowed by “white” establishments in research and application.
We welcome you to learn about the land you reside in, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty
of Indigenous people.
