Statement of Acknowledgement of Indigenous Land

Pound Ridge lies within the traditional lands of the Tankiteke, as well as territory traversed by the Wappinger, Siwanoy, Lenape, Kitchawong, and others. We acknowledge past exploitation and strive to honor the First Peoples with gratitude for their land stewardship over the centuries. It is our wish that acknowledging the past and ongoing relationship of Native Americans to the land upon which we live may deepen an ethic of care for the environment, humanity, and the welcoming and diverse community we aspire to uphold for future generations.
