USG’s Land Acknowledgement Statement
We openly recognize the Lenni-Lenape tribe as the original inhabitants of eastern Pennsylvania, on their traditional territory called “Lenapehoking.” During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the continuing historical tribal communities of the region: the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; and the Powhatan Lenape Nation; the Nanticoke of Millsboro, Delaware; and the Lenape of Cheswold, Delaware. We acknowledge the Lenape people as the indigenous stewards of their homelands and we do hereby commit to actively supporting our Lenape siblings in whatever way we are able.
