We acknowledge, with respect, that we gather on the ancestral homelands of the Lenapehokink (Lun-nah-pay-ho-king). That was once and still is sacred to the Lenape (Leh-NAH-pay) People the Indigenous stewards of their homelands as well as the spiritual keepers of the Lenape Sipu, or Delaware River

We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have been its stewards throughout the generations. We also honor their elders, past and present, as well as future generations. 

We recognize Indigenous organizations such as American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) who are doing this work. 

This calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well.
