We are on stolen, unceded land of the Piscataway Conoy Nation, which was worked by Africans who were kidnapped and enslaved at Hampton Plantation. We humbly offer our respects to the elders, past and present. We remember and honor the indigenous ancestors and stewards of the land we live and work on. This acknowledgment does not take the place of authentic relationships with indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy as an act of resistance against the erasure of their histories. We acknowledge just how deeply the roots of colonialism, racism, sexism, and inequality run in this country.
