Land Acknowledgement
I acknowledge that the land on which I operate, both virtually and physically, encompasses regions in New Jersey and Texas. I honor the Lenape and Ramapough Lenape peoples in New Jersey, and the Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache peoples in Texas. I recognize their enduring connection to these lands and the contributions they have made, and continue to make, to the culture and history of our communities.
I pay my respects to their elders past, present, and emerging, and extend this respect to all Indigenous peoples. This acknowledgment is a step towards respecting the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations and reflecting on the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization.
