Native Land Acknowledgement

The Board of Directors of the Meadows Foundation acknowledges that we are here today on the native territory of the Lenape people, the original stewards of this land that they called Ahandewamack.  We acknowledge the long and complex history of colonialism that has brought us to occupy this space.  We honor with gratitude the Lenape Ancestors and Elders and other Indigenous caretakers of this land and these waters, of the past, of the present and of the future.
