*Every community owes its existence and strength to the generations before
them, around the world, who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy
into making the history that led to this moment.*

*Truth and acknowledgement are critical in building mutual respect and
connections across all barriers of heritage and difference.*

*So, we acknowledge the truth that is often buried: We are on the
ancestral lands of the Piscataway People, who are the ancestral
stewards of this sacred land. It is their historical responsibility to
advocate for the four-legged, the winged, those that crawl and those that
swim. They remind us that clean air and pristine waterways are essential to
all life.*

*This Land Acknowledgement is a vocal reminder for each of us as
two-leggeds to ensure our physical environment is in better condition than
what we inherited, for the health and prosperity of future generations.*
