DownloadHawk Mountain Land Acknowledgment Statement
Hawk Mountain resides on Lenapehoking (len-NA-pe-ho-king), the traditional homelands of the Lenni Lenape. We acknowledge this territory once also served as a hunting ground, trade exchange point, and migration route for the Munsee (MUHN-see), Susquehannock (suh-skwuh-HA-naak), Haudenosaunee (ho-den-no-SHOW-nee), and many other Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge, honor, and respect the past, present, and future of the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this land. We draw inspiration from them and seek to live in harmony with the land while utilizing best stewardship practices to manage the forest for native flora and fauna.
