We acknowledge that Drew is located in Lenapehoking, the traditional territory of the Lenape people. We offer recognition and respect to Lenape ancestors, peoples today, and the Lenape future to come – across Lenapehoking and the Lenape diaspora. In so doing, we acknowledge Lenape Nation sovereignty and their long-standing presence on this land, which precedes the establishment of Drew University, New Jersey State, and the United States of America. We acknowledge and offer deep gratitude to this Lenape land and water that supports us. We invite all members and guests of the Drew community to join in this acknowledgement, respect, and gratitude.
