We acknowledge that this event is taking place on Lenapehoking, the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Lenape (Munsee and Unami) peoples, who have been stewards of these lands long before this city was founded.

We also recognize that this land has been historically inhabited and used by other Indigenous peoples, including the Wecquaesgeek, Wappinger, Siwanoy, and other Munsee-speaking bands.

We pay respect to past, present, and future generations of these Native Nations, and honor the enduring relationships they maintain with this land
