From the Office of General Counsel, November 8, 2023

November is Native American Heritage Month. A land acknowledgement is a formal statement or recognition, often given at the beginning of an event to acknowledge and honor the Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories on which the event is taking place. NYMC Land Acknowledgment: “The historical record indicates that the land currently occupied by New York Medical College's Westchester campus may have been traversed by and helped sustain Schaghticoke, Wappinger and Munsee Lenape peoples prior to and for a time after the arrival of the Dutch in the 17th century. We acknowledge their prior presence on this land, and we pay respect to these communities, both past and present.”
